Lockheed Martin Owes Record $2.5 Million to Settle Race Harassment Suit The monetary relief for former Lockheed employee Charles Daniels is the largest amount ever obtained by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for a single person in a race discrimination case, according to the agency. Daniels was subjected to a racially hostile work environment–including threats of lynching and the “N-word”—while working on military aircraft as part of a field service team, which included a stint in Hawaii. The EEOC charged that Lockheed had failed to discipline the harassers, even though it was aware of the unlawful conduct.

“This is a very good resolution because Lockheed Martin agreed to terminate and permanently bar Daniels’s harassers from employment,” says EEOC Regional Attorney William Tamayo.
