TRENTON – The Division on Civil Rights announced today that it has filed a Director’s Complaint in state Superior Court alleging that a New Jersey auto parts firm unlawfully discriminated on the basis of age and race by not hiring a qualified African-American man in his 50s for a delivery driver position it advertised, then hiring two significantly younger, non-African-American applicants for the same work.
The three-count Complaint against Newark-based Continental Auto Parts alleges multiple violations of the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD), including age-based discrimination, race-based discrimination, and making unlawful pre-employment inquiries.
