Michigan brewery lawsuit moves forward
A racial discrimination lawsuit filed by a black former employee against Founders Brewing Company in Grand Rapids and Detroit is moving forward in court. A federal judge dismissed one claim by former events and promotions manager Tracy Evans that alleged he was passed over for a promotion in favor of two less qualified white employees, Metro Times reports. The claim was dismissed because of a clause in Evans’ employment agreement that shortened the statute of limitations for filing such lawsuits. However, the judge did pave the way for Evans’ other complaints to move forward. He had accused Founders of unequal treatment and retaliation for making complaints regarding racism in his workplace.
