3 Ex-Target Workers Sue over Racist “Multi-Cultural Tips” in Training Document

The suit, filed by the law offices of Ilija Cvetich in Sacramento on behalf of Robert Gonzalez, Bulmaro Fabian and Pedro Garcia-Ayala, says the company provided a booklet entitled “Organization Effectiveness, Employee and Labor Relations Multi-Cultural Tips” to warehouse managers that contained the food tip and more. The document allegedly brought the managers up to speed on other known facts about Hispanics: “Not everyone dances to salsa” and “not everyone wears a sombrero.” Cubans are more likely than Mexicans to be educated and political refugees with legal status, while some Mexicans may be undocumented. The lawsuit charges that the tips are indicative of the racist behavior exhibited by Target managers, who are almost all white.
