Bias Suit Paints Blistering Picture of Zara - article from June 4, 2015
From Courthouse News Service:MANHATTAN (CN) – Zara’s past scandals for clothing designs perceived as having Nazi imagery and racist slogans reflect a deeper corporate culture of bias, the company’s former lawyer claims in a $40 million lawsuit.
Ian Jack Miller, who represented Zara for seven years as in-house counsel, accuses Zara USA and two of its executives of religious and sexual discrimination firsthand in an alarming 30-page complaint filed Wednesday in Manhattan Supreme Court.
Zara’s predominantly Spanish, straight and Christian executives – including an ex-CEO – mocked real estate developers as “los judios” (“the Jews”), exchanged racist emails of President Barack Obama wearing a Ku Klux Klan hood, bragged about their sexual prowess, and subjected staff to sexist and homophobic messages, Miller claims.
The lawsuit begins with a retelling of Zara’s past scandals involving what some customers described as Nazi and racist imagery.
