Instead of pursuing national reverse discrimination cases, m-Live writer only had to look at local cases especially some in which he plaintiffs were represented by Attorney Lenhoff. Lenhoff has had a number of high profile reverse discrimination cases, especially those involving the Flint Fire Department.
In this case mark Hillaker Jr., an environmental technician at Hurley, alleges the abuse started in late 2007. The abuse consisted of derogatory name calling such as "stupid white boy" as well as unjustified discipline and threats of violence from his superior.
Once again the Hurley administration was remiss if they failed to address these issues as alleged. I find the comments to this article to be revealing as fbomac 23 appears to have insider information about 5 settled reverse discrimination cases and Janice referenced a white male nurse who refuses to file formal complaints about discrimination against him. I have ben told there is a male nurse who was refused to be allowed to work with the babies. I have personal knowledge about a case of reverse discrimination involving Hurley. |

Reverse-discrimination lawsuit filed by white employee against Hurley Medical Center moves forward

FLINT, MI -- A Genesee Circuit Judge has ruled that a reverse-discrimination lawsuit filed by a white employee against Hurley Medical Center can move forward despite the hospital's attempt to have the case dismissed.
Genesee Circuit Judge Judith A. Fullerton denied a summary disposition motion Monday, Dec. 16, filed by the hospital, which asked the judge to dismiss the lawsuit filed by Mark Hillaker Jr.
Hillaker filed the lawsuit March 12 claiming that his black supervisor made derogatory remarks to him because of his race. Hillaker, who works as an environmental technician at the hospital, claims that the remarks began in late 2007 and that he supervisor referred to him as "stupid white boy" and told other hospital employees, "Don't do that, I will get my white boy to do it," according to the lawsuit.
Attorney Timothy Winship, who represented the hospital during Monday's motion hearing, argued that Hillaker never filed a complaint with the hospital about the alleged harassment prior to December 2012.
"My boss is making me do my job; I simply don't like it," said Winship while characterizing Hillaker's allegations as complaints from a disgruntled employee.
However, Hillaker's attorney, Glen Lenhoff, argued that evidence he has collected in the case, including a statement from one of Hillaker's co-workers and hospital documents, shows that the hospital was aware that there was ongoing racial discrimination against his client and that the hospital was aware of it.
Winship said that the hospital conducted an investigation into Hillaker's claims and said that there was no evidence of wrong doing.
Lenhoff said he looks forward to the case moving to trial in April.
"It's up to the jury to decide what happened and who should have known what," Lenhoff said.
The allegations came on the heels of a high-profile discrimination lawsuit against the hospital that claimed black nurses in the neonatal intensive care unit were prevented from treating a white baby after a request by the child's father.
Hurley Medical Center agreed to pay nearly $200,000 in February to settle the lawsuit brought by three nurses in that case. A second lawsuit brought by a fourth nurse is still ongoing. |
