NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Fifteen black employees at a Whirlpool Corp. factory are moving ahead with a two-year-old federal lawsuit, after mediation talks failed to resolve claims they have been passed over for promotions and subjected to racial discrimination.
A dozen white workers at the same factory have come forward to corroborate their claims, attorneys representing the black workers said Wednesday.
Whirlpool officials said the claims are untrue and were investigated by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which found no probable cause to support them.
