HCMC faces discrimination lawsuit Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis is the target of a racial discrimination lawsuit by 10 African-American current and former employees.
The suit claims a variety of discriminatory incidents including racial slurs by co-workers and biased management decisions. Plaintiff Carlotta Madison told reporters her job was eliminated and a white employee would assume her duties. She says during the interim, another white employee was hired. "I've been here for 18 years. And I've watched a lot of people - black people - come and go," Madison said. "And I've watched a lot of black people suffer because they want a job." A spokesperson for HCMC was not immediately available for comment.
