Description: Constituent states he was wrongfully let go from his job at Mass DOT based off heresay after telling a coworker not to refer to him as the 'n' word. After this, the employee that the constituent asked to stop, went to HR making claims that the constituent threatened him and that the constituent was also selling marijuana on the job. MassDOT hired an outside agency to do an investigation that sided with the constituent that there were no threats made and that he was dealing with discrimination in the workplace. MassDOT decided not to use the evidence from the outside agency and just take the other employees story over his. The constituent was never asked what happened when he was put on leave. Has been here for about 4/5 years. This is more than just a complaint against MassDOT but a much larger issue that residents of color in Boston have to endure. They are not allowed to ask someone to not call them a derorgatory name without having their whole life ripped from under them. Wants the Mayor to be aware of this issue as it is directly effecting Boston residents. | Case (SR) Type: [Miscellaneous] Referred To: [LABOR RELATIONS]
