Domino's manager threatened Black worker with scissors for complaining about being called the N-word: lawsuit
A New York pizza shop owner was ordered to pay $150,000 for racially harassing employees.
The worker filed a lawsuit alleging the owner of a pair of Domino's franchises in Olean, New York, and Bradford, Pennsylvania, allowed two managers to regularly use the N-word and call Black workers "boy" during shifts, and the suit claims their complaints were met with further harassment, reported the Olean Times Herald.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission found that a Black employee told a white co-worker to stop using racial slurs, but a manager got close to the worker's face and used the N-word in a threatening manner.
When an employee complained to the owner of Parris Pizza, the agency found, one of the managers threatened the worker with a pair of scissors.

Parris Pizza Company LLC agreed to a five-year consent decree with the EEOC to pay $150,000 to Black employees who were harassed and will send an apology letter to all its former employees, and any new business the company opens within that period must institute robust anti-discrimination policies and train workers on federal anti-discrimination laws.
A message seeking comment sent to Domino's corporate communications was not immediately returned.
