Several minority employees said they have been subjected to discrimination, including swastikas and nooses being posted in the plant.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Minority employees at Harley-Davidson's plant in Kansas City say they've been subjected to years of harassment and discrimination. Swastikas and nooses have been posted in the plant, racial epithets were used frequently, and there was at least one assault, said several employees at a news conference organized by the NAACP-Kansas City on Friday.
Harley-Davidson said in a statement that it does not tolerate any form of harassment or discrimination. The company says it actively enforces its code of conduct and anti-harassment policy, along with well-established processes for employees to report concerns. "Over the last three years, all alleged policy or Code of Conduct violations that we are aware of have been swiftly and effectively addressed," Reid said."As of this moment, there are no open investigations with regards to discriminatory behavior."
Rochelle Anthony, who was a union representative for the Steelworkers at the plant for nearly three years before she was fired, said she ran into constant roadblocks. When she tried to file grievances, she says she could never get a straight answer or feedback when she asked about her complaints.
