More Good News for the NY Times

This isn't very PC, especially at a NY Times print shop. Shame on the The Times.

The Jewish plaintiff is Harvey Alpert, a 53-year-old resident of Marlboro, N.J., who began working at the Edison plant as a chauffeur in 1977 and is now a floorman. The complaint alleges that, like the other men bringing the suit, Alpert was "subjected to very offensive epithets" that included being addressed by a colleague as "a (expletive) fat Jew Bastard." The same colleague is alleged to have said "I hate that Jew bastard. I want to kill him."... The other complainants, two Latinos and six African-Americans, also alleged that fellow employees addressed them as "nigger," "coon," and "spook." "This stuff is highly pervasive and of long standing in the sewer where these people have been working," said one of the plaintiffs' attorneys, Jeffrey Bernbach of White Plains, N.Y., in an interview with New Jersey Jewish News. "The New York Times has long been aware of it and has done nothing to clean it up."
