MONTREAL — Construction materials giant Lafarge Canada says it fired an employee after a discriminatory and hateful act took place at a Montreal work site.
The company said today in a statement an act of discrimination involving a “symbol of hatred” had occurred, without giving details.
Montreal La Presse first reported the story on Wednesday, saying a Black employee of Lafarge Canada on June 12 found a noose hanging near the spot where he normally parks his vehicle.
Allonde Junior Georges, who is of Haitian descent, told the news organization the incident left him feeling humiliated.
