This Bangor Daily News article details the experiences of Aaron Martin, a former Bath Iron Works welder, who filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday saying the company allowed discrimination based on race.
“The allegations in the complaint speak for themselves,” Martin’s attorney, Nicholas Bernate, said. “During the years that Aaron worked at Bath Iron Works, he was regularly subject to racial slurs and severe discrimination based on the color of his skin. We look forward to Bath Iron Works being held to account for its conduct.”
