What happens when a workplace becomes a battleground for racial hostility, and the victims are left to fend for themselves? Join Mark Carey in this gripping episode of the Employee Survival Guide® as he unravels the disturbing details of the landmark case Dornal Locke et al. v. Wayne J. Griffin Electric Inc. , where severe racial harassment and racially hostile work environment at an Amazon construction site in Windsor, Connecticut, exposes the dark underbelly of corporate indifference. This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about employee rights, hostile work environment and workplace safety, as it dives into the intricate legal implications of corporate liability in a multi-employer environment. 

Mark and his guest dissect the chilling realities of a hostile work environment, including the shocking discovery of multiple nooses, and the inadequate responses from both the general contractor and property owner. The conversation delves into 'deliberate indifference'—a crucial concept that can hold non-employers accountable under Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits race discrimination in contractual relationships.
