Maine medical worker gets $3M in racial discrimination case
BANGOR, Maine (WABI) – A federal jury has awarded $3 million to a former Northern Mild Japanese Maine Medical Middle employee who stated racial discrimination led to his firing.
Attorneys for David Ako-Annan, who got here to Maine from Ghana, stated the damages represented the most important sum awarded in a racial discrimination case in Maine.
EMCC contended that Ako-Annan did not do his job correctly, resulting in his termination.
However, the all-white jury concluded he was a sufferer of racial stereotyping and implicit bias.
The decision was issued Thursday night in U.S. District Court docket.
