African-American Employees of Brown & Root

If you have been the victim of racial discrimination by Brown & Root-as an employee or a job applicant-and would like to learn more about your legal rights, please call attorney Joshua Friedman for a free consultation at [phone], or visit my website, www.joshuafriedmanesq.com



At the attorney's website is a NY Times article on Halliburton:

Five black veterans have accused Kellogg Brown & Root, a subsidiary of Halliburton, of engaging in racial discrimination.

One of the men, a 21-year veteran of the Marines, contended in an arbitration filing that he was paid less than his colleagues, endured racist epithets, was passed over for promotion in favor of less-qualified people who were white and ultimately lost his job at Kellogg Brown & Root, the engineering and construction subsidiary of Halliburton, which is a major global supplier of oil field services.

A former Army staff sergeant said he lost his job when the company fired 84 percent of the blacks in his unit, according to the filing. Two other claimants, a former Army major and a former sergeant, said that, in separate incidents, they were told their jobs were no longer necessary - only to find later that white employees were promptly given their old positions.

1. Very cool!

Not that it happened, but that Kellogg Brown & Root is being sued, and this is being made public.

I fear for Joshua Friedman, Esq., however. He might very well commit "suicide" before very long.
