Founders Brewing Owner Was ‘Disheartened’ by the Leaking of Racial Discrimination Lawsuit Deposition - Eater Detroit
"Founders Brewing Company is involved in a racial discrimination lawsuit filed by former employee Tracy Evans. The lawsuit alleges a pervasive culture of racism at the brewery, claiming Evans was passed over for promotions despite greater seniority and was terminated for filing a complaint about a racial slur. The company's response has included closing its Detroit taproom indefinitely and cancelling events out of concern for staff safety. The brewery has undergone sensitivity training and hired a director of diversity and inclusion, although she has since resigned." - Brenna Houck
