EEOC complaint in EEOC v. Signal International
(Filed 04/20/2011)
Three years after the SPLC filed its lawsuit, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued Signal, accusing the company of discriminating against the Indian guest workers in the David case filed by the SPLC and its co-counsel. The EEOC’s lawsuit also alleged that Signal retaliated against the workers – firing them, detaining them and attempting to deport them – when they tried to oppose the company’s discriminatory practices.
