WASHINGTON, D.C.--Today, Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney met with Dr. Vance Coffman, CEO of Lockheed Martin Corporation. McKinney requested the meeting following many calls from Lockheed workers who have been victims of discrimination. From Alabama through Georgia and South Carolina up to North Carolina, complaints have been filed against the management of Lockheed Martin. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (E.E.O.C.) issued eleven letters of determination, finding discrimination and nine of those letters stated that Lockheed Martin had discriminated on the basis of color. Congresswoman McKinney presented to Dr. Coffman a list of demands which includes compensation for all employees who have been discriminated against on the basis of race, sex, age or disability during the past five years. "Lockheed must write a check to these workers. It is the only way to compensate them for their damages," stated McKinney. |
