CNN is hit yet again with another class-action lawsuit by a group of Black employees. The employees allegedly claim the cable network operated made them feel “abuse of power, nepotism, revenge, retaliation and discrimination” while working for the media giant.
“As a result of the current discrimination lawsuit filed on behalf of DeWayne Walker vs. CNN, Time Warner & Turner, we have uncovered stories involving abuse of power, nepotism, revenge, retaliation, and discrimination,” Attorney Daniel Meachum said in a press release on Wednesday.
Walker sued CNN for the first time in January in a $50 million suit that said during his 13 years of employment with the company, he has been consistently passed over for promotions in favor of white coworkers. When he complained to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, he said, he was targeted by higher-ups for retaliation.”
In the past few years, three other employees have filed suits against CNN for wrongful termination, racial discrimination, and religious discrimination.
