Latino managers of a Florida-based tomato growing, packing, and distributing company harassed and intimidated Haitian production workers.
Question:
Latino managers of a Florida-based tomato growing, packing, and distributing company harassed and intimidated Haitian production workers. When the Haitians complained about their treatment, the managers retaliated against them. Do the national origin anti-discrimination laws prohibit national origin discrimination by any group against any other group? Or do the laws require that the discrimination be committed by a group that is considered to represent the majority in that environment against people of color? Could the Haitians recover if their managers had been Haitian? Similarly, would the Latinos have similar liability if the workers involved had been Latino? [EEOC v.
