Re: Terroristic Threats

It depends. From your post, it seems as if the company knows that these activities are ongoing. If that is the case, the company could be subject to a claim of a racially hostile environment. However, there is a lot of information missing that is necessary to determine whether or not there may be any liability. You should contact an attorney to see.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me.

The foregoing is general information only, not specific legal advice. No attorney/client relationship has been created or should be implied.
