Toledo, Ohio (CNN)It took 14 months for the noose to show up.
Fourteen months where Marcus Boyd says he endured racist comments, slights, even threats in a hostile workplace run by General Motors.
A workplace where people declared bathrooms were for "whites only," where black supervisors were denounced as "boy" and ignored by their subordinates, where black employees were called "monkey," or told to "go back to Africa."
A workplace where black employees were warned a white colleague's "daddy" was in the Ku Klux Klan. Where white workers wore shirts with Nazi symbols underneath their coveralls.
In Ohio.
In 2018.



All those allegations are detailed in a lawsuit filed against GM in which eight workers say managers at the Toledo Powertrain plant did little or nothing to stop racism.
For Boyd, it began on his first day. He said he could feel the glare from white team members as if they were saying, "Who's he to be in charge of them?"
All the other supervisors, who were white, received training before their jobs, Boyd said. Boyd, an experienced supervisor albeit in a different industry, was given a clipboard and told to start.
But if he wondered if he was making too much of that, the situation crystallized when some of his juniors ignored him, refused to follow his directions and called him the N-word, though he could never see exactly who said it.

Blame the unions. They are the ones that make it nearly impossible to fire bad seeds.

Did the union protect this worker? No.

Did the union allow those people to remain working? Yes.

Nothing dishonest on my part. On the part of the union getting them dues, well...

Don’t believe everything you read. There is something wrong with this story.

GM has 180,000 employees.
45% are women on the Board of Directors.
25% of women and minorities that are in executive positions.
36% of all US hires are minorities.

My dad worked for GM. He never had a problem.

It'll turn out than some blackie is behind the noose and whites-only graffiti, judging by past cases like this.

The blackie supervisor practically admits he's incompetent because he complained he didn't get management training from GM.

Blackies have no complaints about being handed jobs because of their race, while whites get screwed.
