Shell is facing a lawsuit alleging the company conducted a corporate reorganization that racially discriminated against White employees.
America First Legal (AFL) filed a lawsuit on Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas on behalf of employees in the company’s security division who claimed that Shell racially discriminated against them in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act as the company carried out a reorganization in line with corporate diversity goals.
AFL’s lawsuit claims the employees had better credentials and performance reviews but were forced to reapply for their jobs, complete in-person assessments and were ultimately replaced with less qualified candidates.
“What our clients experienced should alarm every American,” said AFL attorney Juli Haller. “If a corporation can openly discriminate against employees because of the color of their skin — under the guise of DEI — then no one’s rights are safe. America First Legal is proud to seek to hold Shell accountable and restore equal justice under the law.”
