AVON, Colo.—Ten former Wal-Mart employees have filed discrimination complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against three Wal-Mart stores in western Colorado.
The workers are primarily from West Africa and many are Muslim. They claim the store managers treated them differently from non-African workers and that they denied them scheduled prayer breaks. The West African workers said that after years of work with the company, the managers suddenly fired them and said their work was not good enough.
A Wal-Mart spokesman denies the accusations and says the company makes every effort to encourage diversity at their stores.
