Three new class representative plaintiffs have joined a class-action lawsuit against American Express alleging that the company racially discriminated against White employees.
In his original complaint, Netzel alleged that his female manager, who is Black, would "aggressively harass and berate White employees" and that Amex was not only aware of her behavior but providedThree new class representative plaintiffs have joined a class-action lawsuit alleging that American Express engaged in racially discriminatory policies against White employees, fostering a hostile work environment.
One of the new plaintiffs, who resides in a different city than the original plaintiff, claims to have been subjected to racial harassment and discrimination from that same manager. Another alleges to have been harassed and denied a promotion on racial grounds by a different manager. All three of the new plaintiffs say they were forced to resign from well-paying positions in the company to escape its racially toxic environment.
Amex did not provide comment on the amended complaint but denied the claims of the original suit, with a spokesperson telling FOX Business at the time: "The allegations made about our company in the lawsuit are false and without merit. We have a longstanding commitment to living our company values which include fostering a diverse and inclusive culture where all colleagues can thrive."
"Advancement, hiring, and compensation within our company is based solely on individual qualifications, business, and leadership performance. Any claim to the contrary is wrong, and we do not provide any incentive for behaviors that discriminate against or favor any group of employees," the spokesperson added.
