Lawsuit filed against Coca-Cola for racial discrimination

Recently, two Coca-Cola production plants in New York have come under fire for alleged discrimination towards minority workers.  According to the New York Daily News, sixteen plant employees are suing the manufacturer for being subjected to “a cesspool of racial discrimination”.  One worker, Sondra Walker claims that she has been called such names as “Nappy Head” and “Aunt JaMamma”.  A representative at Coca-Cola has stated that they are looking into the matter.

I highly recommend this group! Valerie and her staff care about you as a person and make sure all your needs are taken care of. You can count on your matters being a top priority…during my five years of being a client, I was always given an answer to any questions on the same day without delay. The entire staff goes above and beyond to take care of you!

I always recommend Johnson & Groninger to people with harassment, sex abuse, workers compensation, and bike law matters. They are excellent attorneys who care about their clients and justice. They exemplify how all lawyers should be!

Being a police officer, I have dealt with a lot of law firms, but as far as I’m concerned, I was completely happy with what Valerie did. She really did her homework. I have already recommended her to others who are looking for workers’ compensation representation.

Christopher Causebrook

Ethical, intelligent, effective and genuine coupled with being a skillful negotiator best describes my personal experience with Ms. Groninger. Her uncanny ability to work respectfully with all clients garners positive results. I highly recommend Ms. Groninger without reservation!

Valerie is professional and very knowledgeable in workers compensation law. The staff was excellent especially Elizabeth. All calls were returned promptly. All questions were answered with patience and understanding. I felt confident that this law firm would resolve all issues that we were confronted with. There was always someone there that we could talk to.
