Employees of Yellow Transportation Claim Discrimination

DALLAS-Four employees of Yellow Transportation have filed a discrimination lawsuit in federal district court against the transport services company, as well as the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.   

According to the Dallas Business Journal, the suit alleges “the company has a consistent and pervasive history of treating its minority employees less favorably than their white employees.”

The suit further alleges that the union failed to speak out in defense of Black employees, who were often disciplined and terminated for no cause and without due process.

The plaintiffs claim they endured “racial graffiti in the workplace, dangerous physical intimidation by white co-workers, and a ‘hit list’ of minority employees who have been marked for termination.”
