Spotlight: Race, Sex Bias Suit Filed Against Western Digital

Two black former employees of Western Digital Corp. have sued the Irvine company, alleging race and sex discrimination. One of them, who was a manager at the firm, was once featured in a “diversity” photo in the company manual. Ronald Sinclair and Rosalind Gulley claim the company favored young white men during cost-cutting moves last year. The suit seeks unspecified damages and an acknowledgment of wrongdoing. Western Digital said race, age and gender played no part in the cutbacks.
