Feds Sue Colorado Hampton Inn For Firing Non-Hispanic Workers

The federal government is suing a Hampton Inn franchise in rural Colorado on behalf of at least three white and non-Hispanic employees who say that they were fired based on negative stereotypes, according to the lawsuit filed last week.

The suit alleges that Century Shree Corp. and Century Rama Inc., owners and operators of the Hampton Inn in the Western Slope community of Craig, relied on stereotypes that suggest white or non-Hispanic workers are lazy, when they fired the employees.
