Boeing is responding today to allegations of racism — and more.

Curtis Anthony, who works in the company’s Charleston, South Carolina plant, alleges he found a noose at his desk at Boeing.

The company says “there is no validity” to his allegations.

In the suit, Anthony alleges a company culture of race discrimination, retaliation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, FMLA violations, and contract breaches. Anthony reports he found a noose at his desk.

A Boeing representative says Anthony only raised one issue with management, which was, “dealt with promptly and in a fair manner.”

The Boeing Company has been named in a lawsuit filed by Curtis Anthony, a current teammate working in Boeing South Carolina Aftbody building. Anthony is alleging race discrimination, retaliation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, violations of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), breach of contract and breach of contract with fraudulent intent.

While Mr. Anthony is a valued Boeing South Carolina teammate, there is no validity to his allegations. In fact, Mr. Anthony’s requests for FMLA leave have been consistently and repeatedly approved by the company in an expeditious manner.

Moreover, most of Mr. Anthony’s allegations were never brought to the attention of management, giving the company no opportunity to investigate these claims.  The single issue he did raise was dealt with promptly and in a fair manner.
