'Egregious racism' | Black workers are suing General Mills over alleged racial hatred

General Mills, the multinational food company known for its cereal brands, is facing a federal lawsuit filed by several of its Black employees who claim that one of the company’s plants in Georgia has “embraced a racially hostile work environment” controlled by “white supremacists.”

In a detailed 60-page lawsuit filed earlier this month, the plaintiffs allege that managers at the Covington, Ga., plant have consistently favored white employees for promotions over Black employees, and have issued more disciplinary actions toward Black employees.
