“Five black men who worked for Austal USA in Mobile took their racial discrimination lawsuit to federal court Monday, opening a 2-week civil trial. The plaintiffs, who seek unspecified damages, are among 22 people who made racial discrimination claims against the shipbuilder, which is the city’s largest industrial employer. They accused the company of allowing a hostile work environment, filled with slurs, nooses and threatening graffiti.”
