Employees accused a Toyota plant in Kansas City of being “disrespectful” after it served only watermelon as a part of a Juneteenth celebration, according to FOX4.
The company held a Juneteenth celebration at a Kansas City, Missouri, distribution center where watermelon was the only thing served to staff, according to FOX4. Employees were offended by the celebration, with one employee referring to it as racism he should not have to encounter at work.
“A slap in the face, very disrespectful, you know. They preach Black lives matter, but kind of like they were making a joke out of us,” Jarret Bolden, a black employee, told FOX4. “Acknowledge us as people. Stop taking us as a joke.”
