From [HERE] A former employee at Wyle Corp's CAS Inc. in Huntsville alleges in a federal lawsuit that he was subject to multiple instances of racist taunting including being called nigger by supervisors and having a noose placed near his desk. CAS "provides services throughout" the Department of Defense, the company says in a court filing, including a "full range of weapons system support and analysis." CAS's headquarters are in Huntsville with offices in five other states, Colorado, Texas, Virginia, Nebraska and Oklahoma, according to its court filing.
He was also urged to learn key dates in Confederate history and says a picture of a lynched black man was left on his car windshield.
Willie Frank Tuck, a Black Madison County resident, argues in the July lawsuit that he was fired because of his race and in retaliation for his complaints about discrimination and other issues.
The lawsuit says Tuck joined the company in October 2011 and was terminated in January 2014. When he began, the lawsuit claims, Tuck was one of two African American employees and there were about 50 white employees.
From the start of his employment until his termination Tuck was subjected to "racially motivated comments, racially motivated actions, racially motivated sexual comments, racially motivated hostile working environment ..." and racially motivated and retaliatory termination from his job, the lawsuit contends.
The lawsuit alleges a number of specific issues of racially motivated conduct and alleges that Tuck told supervisors and management personnel about each incident listed below, but nothing changed.
