Like TESLA motors, DHL is being rocked by claims of racial discrimination by their Black employees.
Black employees of DHL, a division of German logistics company Deutsche Post, are alleging racial discrimination, and harassment at the company’s LAX Gateway location.
Ten former DHL employees have already filed claims with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) Los Angeles Office describing their experience.

Here is an exception of their complaint:
The racial harassment was open and deliberate, and often occurred in front of management. Latino/Hispanic supervisors and employees daily called the Black workers racist slurs such as “lazy and dumb.” One Black worker found a note with “Go back to Texas n-word” written on his locker. When complaints were made about the harassment, DHL took no action.
Black workers say they have been exposed to racial slurs by their Latino/Hispanic coworkers in both English and Spanish. Blacks have been called “the n-word,” cruelly saying, “what up n—a.”
“We are livid that nothing has been done at DHL to assist our clients with their horrific treatment said attorneys John Harris and Herbert Hayden of renowned Los Angeles civil rights practice Harris & Hayden LLP. “This offensive, racist action has to end, and these employees intend to put a stop to it.”
