EEOC sues Schuff Steel for discrimination

October 7, 2022

The lawsuit is at least the fourth discrimination complaint EEOC has lodged against construction companies in recent weeks. Previously, EEOC filed against California-based contractor Goodsell/Wilkins and Florida contractors Alto Construction and J.A. Croson.

The suit against Schuff alleges the hostile work environment forced both Black and Hispanic workers to quit, and that a Hispanic worker was fired in retaliation after complaining about the manager’s actions.
