Plaintiff filed a lawsuit alleging a pattern of race and national origin discrimination and retaliation as well as a hostile work environment in violation of the Civil Rights Act after he was placed on unpaid emergency leave for getting into a disagreement with his supervisor during which the police were called to escort plaintiff from the workroom floor.
