SLS Hotels to pay $2.5M for discriminating against Haitian workers in Miami

31 Jul 2018July 31 (UPI) — The SLS luxury hotel chain has been ordered to pay a $2.5 million settlement for discriminating against Haitian dishwashers at its hotel in Miami, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission announced this week.


The settlement will be awarded to17 black Haitian dishwashers at the South Beach hotel who were wrongfully terminated because of their race and national origin, the EEOC said. Before the dishwashers were fired, they were subject to abuse ranging from being forbidden to speak their native Creole while Hispanic co-workers were allowed to speak Spanish and being required to carry heavy items up several floors of stairs while being referred to as “slaves” by their Hispanic supervisor.


When the dishwashers complained about their treatment to higher-up supervisors, they were terminated and replaced by a staff of “made up of almost entirely of white and/or Hispanic workers,” their lawsuit stated.


In addition to paying $2.5 million, the SLS Hotel will provide re-training for human resource officials, management personnel and hourly employees at its six hotels in the South Florida region for the next three years. These training sessions will be monitored by an independent consent decree monitor who will provide comprehensive reports to the EEOC.


Data on terminations and layoffs over the next three years will also have to be submitted to the EEOC.


“EEOC will continue to protect workers in the hospitality industry, including the black Haitian community that makes up a significant part of the South Florida workforce,” said Michael Farrell, district director for the EEOC’s Miami office.

Multiculturalism----bickering over 2 languages spoken and neither one of them English.

This was actually a good decision because it highlights a problem that is pervasive in our country due mainly to massive immigration of Caucasian Hispanics who feel superior to blacks and abuse them in the work force, not because the victims are Haitian, but because they're black.
