In a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Andre Waters accuses American Spiralweld Pipe Company, LLC of fostering a racially hostile work environment. Waters, who has been employed by the company since April 2022, alleges that he was subjected to racial slurs and harassment from white coworkers and supervisors. He claims that his complaints to human resources were met with intimidation rather than action. The complaint details incidents involving racial slurs and a hangman’s noose placed in his locker. Waters seeks compensatory and punitive damages under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866, and the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act.
