A group of Mexican janitorial workers in Chicago will receive proceeds from a $350,000 settlement with their employer, Chicago-based Gonella Bakery, Inc. The suit alleged that a mid-level manager routinely made derogatory remarks to the Mexican workers regarding their national origin. The company also agreed to enter into a consent decree to ensure that similar violations of the Title VII do not happen again. The EEOC's announcement is here.
