"EEOC Lawsuit Alleges Racial Discrimination in Bathroom Access at Florida Asphalt Paving Company"

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has filed a lawsuit against Asphalt Paving Systems, accusing the Florida-based company of creating a hostile environment for its Black employees. The lawsuit alleges that the employees were subjected to racial harassment, including being called racial slurs and being forced to work in demeaning conditions. The Black employees were also allegedly forced to relieve themselves outside while white employees were allowed to use indoor bathrooms. The EEOC is seeking compensation for the employees and the implementation of policies to eradicate the company's unlawful practices.
