United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS) faces a lawsuit filed by six minority workers alleging racial discrimination.
A UPS spokesman said the company hasn’t received notice of the lawsuit.
In a press release Tuesday, law firm Leeds Morelli & Brown said the six men are employed at the company’s Uniondale, N.Y., facility. The complaint claims the men faced harassment, including reprimands for little or no reason. Minorities were also given more work and assigned dangerous driving routes, according to the lawsuit filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in Nassau County.
The lawsuit comes less than a year after the firm filed a discrimination complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. That May complaint involved 10 current and former drivers from New York.
