"Racial Discrimination Lawsuit Exposes Daily Use of N-Word by Sweetgreen Managers in New York"

Ten employees of Sweetgreen have filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against the salad chain, alleging that they were subjected to daily use of racial slurs and other racist comments by their co-workers and managers at seven of its New York City restaurants. The lawsuit also claims that managers failed to hire or promote qualified Black employees, gave preferential treatment to Hispanic workers, and ignored complaints made to upper management. The plaintiffs are seeking monetary and punitive damages, as well as payment of attorneys' fees. Sweetgreen has not yet responded to the allegations.
