Ricky Pang seeks $250,000: “White employees are not treated the same.”
BY JACOB PALMER | DIGITAL NEWS EDITOR
Ricky Pang is the latest in a string of former Daimler Trucks employees to file a suit against the company claiming discriminatory practices.
The former data center management team coordinator claims he was mistreated due to his age and race. He also said that a coworker outed him to other employees.
His suit claims he was routinely passed up for promotions given to younger, white employees who were less qualified. The suit claims that on “several occasions, defendants asked and only required minorities to work longer hours and weekends” — including Pang.
After complaining to management, Pang was told he had to share a cubicle with another minority employer, the suit claims.
