: Legal Pad | LASoCal Edison sued for racial discrimination
By Richard Binder
A lawsuit has been filed in Los Angeles Superior Court alleging a "racially hostile" work environment at Southern California Edison, where, a group of 11 current and former black employees claim, few blacks are in senior management. The suit also alleges unequal pay and job assignments.
The suit seeks damages, attorney fees and an
injunction against the company to force it to enact the consent decree.
Charles T. Mathews, an attorney representing the employees, says employees have twice before filed class-action lawsuits, in 1974 and 1994, against Edison alleging racial discrimination. Some employees in Tuesday's suit were also part of the 1994 suit.
