A federal jury this week found that Starbucks discriminated against a white manager who was fired. Here's what to know about the case and its implications, according to legal experts.
Here's what to know about the Starbucks discrimination case and its implications, according to legal experts:In 2018, two Black men -- Donte Robinson and Rashon Nelson -- were arrested at a Philadelphia-area Starbucks store after an employee called 911 and accused them of trespassing because they had not made a purchase.agreedPhillips, a then-regional director who had worked at the company for nearly 13 years, was terminated less than a month after the incident.
"My understanding is that in these cases what you have to have is a comparative," Rick Rossein, a professor of employee discrimination law at the City University of New York Law School, told ABC News. "Here you have a Starbucks manager giving that type of testimony." Legal precedent that reaches as high as the Supreme Court affirms that the measure at issue, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, protects white workers who experience discrimination, they added.
