I’m going to guess she has no proof of this text message,


quote:

The commission also noted that Mack had provided evidence of Mata using the same racial slur he used in the text message on other occasions, "indicat(ing) that this was a constant practice of his."




This certainly implies she provided proof of this text and more, but the article is unclear as it is written.

otherwise she would have more clout here.


Because the employer has proof of excessive sick days, they have "plausible deniability" for reason for the firing. Louisiana is an at will state, were it not for the text, they could have fired her anyway. The text put them in a tight spot, the excessive sick days mitigated that a bit.

A civil suit will have other criteria regarding damages vs improper termination, I would think. But not being an OT lawyer, I welcome any thoughts on the matter.

He works in sales for a gym in Slidell. Of course he's a tool.

If it can be proven that he texted that to her and they did nothing, then they deserve whatever they get


I am as right to hire/fire as it gets, but this.

With 99.999% of racism claims being debunked as fake or otherwise contrived, nobody believes it when another one is claimed.

I workout at this gym once a week. It is very racially diverse as far as the customers go. Not sure why this guy would say that to an employee that works in a place where a lot of racially different people work out at.

Are they positive this is the guy that said it. He looks like 90% of the white guys in Slidell. A good lawyer could make the case for mistaken identity.
