New York officials have accused Dos Toros of failing to respond properly to reports of racial slurs and creating a hostile work environment for their employees.

Joseph & Norinsberg LLC today declared that they have commenced a civil action case in New York Supreme Court arising from claims that their customer was subjected to the 'n-word' by colleagues, including the assistant manager, while on the job.

Dos Toros, a renowned New York-based and headquartered Mexican-style food chain, and its holding company, Founders Table Restaurant Group, are the subjects of the suit.

The filing states that Allison Edwards, a Manhattan native, filed an official complaint with the accused detailing the repeated utilization of the 'n-word' and other racial slurs by non-Black employees, including supervisors, with no repercussions. On many occasions, Ms. Edwards was titled the 'n-word' and exposed to frequent racist jokes. It is claimed that managerial personnel often used the 'n-word' when speaking to subordinates.

Even though Ms. Edwards lodged grievances and reported the behavior to all suitable parties, Dos Toros administration encountered the plaintiff with dismissive answers and did not attempt to stop the verbal abuse. In fact, supervisors actually defended one of the personnel who called Ms. Edwards the 'n-word', asserting that this racial epithet was only 'slang'. She was compelled to resign due to the distress and trauma caused by employees using the slur daily.

"The historically noxious character of using the 'n-word' will never disappear. No one should be subjected to hostile, offensive language while on the job," said Bennitta Joseph, Partner Joseph & Norinsberg LLC. "Very often, employees sustain offensive workplace behavior, particularly when apparently approved by senior leaders whose power shapes the behavior of the rest of the staff. After our client communicated her dismay, management should have rectified the situation. We are devoted to and anticipate justice due to our client."

Regardless of the race of those using the callous epithet, discrimination, hate speech, and reprisal in the workplace present a potential violation of multiple federal and state laws preserving civil and human rights. The employee is seeking compensatory and punitive damages for lost wages, mental anguish, and harm to

her professional and personal reputation.
