A Black man has filed an employment discrimination lawsuit against a hotel in Detroit, Michigan, alleging the hotel only offered him a job interview after he changed the name on his resume, according to a copy of the lawsuit obtained by CNN.

Dwight Jackson filed the lawsuit against the Shinola Hotel on July 3, alleging he was denied a job when he applied as “Dwight Jackson,” but later offered an interview when he changed his name to “John Jebrowski.”

The lawsuit alleges Jackson was denied a job in “violation of Michigan Elliott Larsen Civil Rights Act.”

    We are doing fine, I wasn’t crying about anything. Read my original post which you and everyone else has failed to engage with.

    Completely unrelated, most other small businesses are struggling because mega corps engage in collusion and price fixing, and also their volume allows them to take smaller margins and gives them better costs, which makes it hard for small businesses to compete.

    A small business putting a sign in the window is not awful behavior, you are attacking a straw man.

    Sounds like you have no idea what it’s like working retail in 2024.

      A lot of bellyaching coming from somebody is doing just fine. Clearly you didn’t get the sympathy you wanted so now you’re changing your tune lmao. And I’d sure say a lot of people engaged with your original posts. Sitting at -25 currently, with nothing but negative comments calling you out as well. But you just keep trying! Surely it’s everyone else in the world who is wrong, and you’re the only one who’s right, even though you’re admittedly struggling!
