Hello,
Key facts:
• On June 19th, I witnessed a violent attack on a coworker. The aggressor kicked, punched, pulled dreadlocks from his head, and also bit a chunk of his finger.
• I threw a single punch to stop the assault and was fired soon after under the company’s “zero-tolerance” policy.
• The incident occurred just one week after a supervisor—who had recently been suspended and placed on probation for aggressive behavior and sexual misconduct—returned to work.
• This same supervisor has been reported by multiple employees, especially Black workers, for creating a racially hostile environment.
• I and others believe he disproportionately targeted Black employees for harassment, discipline, and retaliation.
Given the racial dynamics, the supervisor’s history, and the company’s apparent failure to protect employees, I believe I have a case for:
✔ Wrongful termination
✔ Retaliation
✔ Hostile work environment
✔ Racial discrimination (Title VII)
