AllHipHop: EXCLUSIVE: White Employee Sues Verizon After He's Caught Using "N-Word" While Discussing DMX On Company Phone

Was this man's termination a result of the usual double standard? 

By AllHipHop Staff

Caucasian man named Peter Kelly is suing Verizon for wrongful termination. Kelly, who worked for the company for more than 20 years, alleges management fired him in May 2021 for using the word “n-gga” while discussing DMX on a company phone. According to documents obtained by AllHipHop, Kelly is attempting to recover damages for Verizon’s “unlawful discrimination” against Kelly “in violation of the National Labor Relations Act.”

It continues: “This action also arises out of the breach by Plaintiff’s union, Defendant Communications Workers of America, AFL-CIO (the ‘Union’), of the duty to provide fair representation, and of the breach by Plaintiff’s employer, Defendant Verizon New York Inc. (“Verizon”), of the collective bargaining agreement.”
