The United States Supreme Court will not hear N-Word Case in local labor case.
The nation’s highest court said Monday it would not take the case of a former Parkland Hospital employee who said he was subjected to a hostile work environment due to graffiti in one elevator that used the N-word. The court did not comment in turning away the case. It was one of many the court rejected Monday.
N-Word Case Background
Robert Collier said that during the seven years he worked as an operating room aide at Parkland, white nurses called him and other Black employees “boy.” He also said management ignored two large swastikas painted on a storage room wall. He sued the hospital after he was fired in 2016.
More recently Parkland lost several thousand dollars in a COVID19 test theft and the taxpayer funded hospital has had numerous cost issues with its recent construction.
