An African American man filed a lawsuit against his employer, Bay Bridge contractor Adams & Smith, Inc., for racial discrimination and retaliation just a little over a week after the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. The complaint cited incidents in which a foreman lowered a hangman’s noose in front of plaintiff James H. Brown and a co-worker told him to wear the rope around his neck.

Daryle Washington says, “I want an apology, and for policies and procedures to change at Recology so that this will never happen to anyone else again.” Recology responded, “We don’t even want you here.” Join the protest: “Enough Is Enough! Stop Racist Noose Incidents and Workplace Bullying at SF Recology” on Monday, July 27, 12 noon, at Recology Co., 501 Tunnel Ave., San Francisco
