This Utah company must be the poster child for the “worst practices” award: a company supervisor repeatedly called a class of African-American employees racial slurs such as the “N-word;” the company had an anti-harassment policy which directed employees to report harassment to their harassing supervisor; and the company fired one of the employees for complaining.

 

Can you pick out all of the acts which violated Title VII?  They cost the company $230,000 in a settlement just reached with the EEOC.
