HONOLULU (AP) -- Lockheed Martin will pay $2.5 million to a former electrician who says he was called the N-word, threatened with death and laid off after he reported racism.
The settlement between Lockheed Martin and Charles Daniels was filed in U.S. District Court in Hawaii Wednesday.
The 45-year-old Daniels says he was targeted on nearly a daily basis by co-workers while working in Greenville, South Carolina, then in Florida, Washington and Hawaii from 1999 to 2001.
Lockheed Martin spokesman Joe Stout says the company does not tolerate discrimination and harassment.
Daniels says the verbal attacks began in Greenville when one co-worker took out his anger over the Confederate flag being removed from the Statehouse dome. Daniels says Ku Klux Klan newsletters were distributed in the breakroom.
