Chrysler to Pay $3.5 Million in Employee Discrimination Lawsuit

 

BELVIDERE (WIFR) -- A local Chrysler Plant worker has been awarded the most amount of money ever given in a racial discrimination lawsuit in Illinois.

The seventh circuit court of appeals ordered Chrysler to pay $3.5 million to a Jewish employee.

Co-workers are accused of hurling racial slurs at him, making death threats and shredding his tires.

The employee tells us his co-workers also accused him of being a homosexual, he tells us that is not the case.

The court ruled Chrysler didn't do enough to stop it. This employee worked at the Belvidere Assembly Plant for more than 20 years.
