RECORD SETTLEMENT Lockheed Martin is shelling out $2.5 million to a black aviation electrician who said he was discriminated against during work. A sample: Daniels, 45, "was the target of persistent verbal abuse by coworkers and a supervisor whose racial slurs and offensive language included calling him the N-word, and saying, 'We should do to blacks what Hitler did to the Jews,' and if the South had won then this would be a better country," the EEOC said in a statement. "Daniels was also subjected to multiple physical threats, such as lynching and other death threats after he reported the harassment." It's the largest ever settlement for an individual racial discrimination case, meaning the treatment Daniels was subjected to was pretty damn bad.

What?? At Lockheed Martin?? Damn. That's really hard to believe, but nevertheless I think he shoulda got more $$.
Unfortunately it's not that hard to believe that something like this occured at Lockheed. See the link: http://www.washingtonpost.com/.....Jul12.html
I know someone who worked for them in their Dallas office, and he had major complaints about the atmosphere there.
Hmm. That article was disturbing. I guess it was hard for me to believe b/c of what I know of them from ppl who have worked for them, but they were not black. LOL.
Um, how can you have kept going to work in an environment like this?
