Problem:
AFL’s client, a white male, was a Senior Director at Red Hat, a subsidiary of the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), for eight years. He was on track to become an executive at the company until Red Hat adopted DEI policies and announced quota goals to remake its workforce demographics. Following the announcement of these racist quotas, our client was terminated. As demonstrated by Red Hat’s admitted goals, our client was targeted for being white and for being male.
Action:
Partnered with our co-counsel, AFL sued Red Hat on behalf of Mr. Wood for allegedly engaging in discriminatory employment and termination practices against white males.
Result:
This case is currently being litigated.
