Cracker Barrel Discrimination Lawsuit

It is known as a wholesome family restaurant, but several employees at a local Cracker Barrel Restaurant say looks can be deceiving. Ten current and former employees are suing the restaurant chain for sexual harassment and racial discrimination. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, EEOC, is representing 10 people who say work at the Cracker Barrel was so horrible, many of them had to quit. Eight of those people work or worked at the restaurant in Bloomington. According to their attorney, they were groped by coworkers, forced to listen to obscene jokes and view pornography. African American employees were reportedly called people who "like to eat turnip greens." They were also called "black and lazy." All of this with management doing nothing. [more ]
