CHICAGO (CBS) — Cable giant Comcast says it adamantly denies allegations from a group of technicians who claim the company discriminates against black employees.

The former and current employees sued Comcast in federal court this week.

They claim the company gave black customers cable boxes infested with bugs.

The workers also said they weren’t given new uniforms, but the company did provide employees on the North Side and in the suburbs with the uniforms.

It’s always something when black people actually get in trouble for slacking, missing work or whatever it maybe the call it racial or they’re discriminates against.then they wonder why ppl don’t want to hire them or stereotype them

NWA

It’s discriminating to Black people when y’all expect us to work like White people. We gets food, money, housing for free, we don’t got to work.

S.O.S…..shouldn’t got to pay for no cable neither.
