Three ex-warehouse workers of Target is claiming that they were experiencing racial discrimination, referring to an shocking document that the international employer has provided to managers.
The former employees has filed the lawsuit in Yolo, California, and disclosed Target's "Multi-Cultural Tips" document. The full name of the document was "Organization Effectivenss, Employee and Labor Relations Multi-Cultural Tips."
"It's very disturbing to think that a company which has a pretty good public persona might have such an ugly private face," commented a D.C. national nonprofit organization called LATISM.
The document that features advice on how to enhance effectiveness for Hispanic employees stated different Hispanic stereotypes, ranging from music to food to clothing.
Target's 'Multi-Cultural Tips' states that Mexicans are of "lower education level," while Cubans are of "higher education level." Additionally, that the Hispanics might "pretend to understand, when they do not," clearly inciting possible racial discrimination in which employees of Mexico descent might be placed in a spot where they are continuously asked to re-confirm understanding.
The three men, Bulmaro Fabian, Robert Gonzalez, and Pedro Garcia-Ayala were also seeking to attest that their supervisors were almost completely Caucasians and constantly bickered them and other Hispanic employees with racial slurs.
One of the trio, Gonzalez, had already reported the problem to human resources, only to find their situation worsened when the bosses targeted them for revenge, and eventually fired the three unfortunate victims.
Target's spokeswoman, Molly Snyder did not comment on Target's 'Multi-Cultural Tips' document because apparently they had not yet received the lawsuit. Snyder, however, cited that the company has 361,000 employees who work worldwide, and that Target commits to "respecting and valuing the diverse backgrounds."
