racial intimidation at Trenton NJ plant: noose found hanging in shower

To this day Solomon Daniels still looks over his shoulder after snapping these pictures on the job. A noose was hanging from the shower in the locker room where he works at Siemens.

Clark says the blatant intimidation is the result of complaints that qualified African Americans aren’t promoted and paid. Like their white counterparts.

Co-worker Eddie Clarke says there’s a history of racism and harassment when it comes to certain supervisors at the Trenton NJ plant. Both men have been on the job nearly five years.

Clarke told us about how a supervisor, an ex-military man, once threatened his life referring to friendly fire.

Seeing this noose in January was the final straw for both Clarke and Daniels. They’re now two of three employees that have retained legal counsel hoping to improve working conditions

Siemen’s issued this statement saying “the placement of a noose in a Siemens facility is a deplorable, aggressive act. After interviews and scouring surveillance tape, we could not find any evidence of how the noose got there. Daniels says the investigation is proof of the environment they work in.”
