    Sure… $1m in compensatory damages is fair… $90,909/person. Yep… caffeteria caterers are pretty high paid.

    $1m extra in punative damages to teach the company a lesson – should toss in some cultural sensitivity training requirements too.

    Just think… these people were forced to work up to 8 MONTHS in these terrible conditions.

    Oh wait… let me adjust the $90k amount since after the laywers get their share each plantiff will probably end up with $5.00.

    Whoa… miscalculated… thought they were suing for $1m…

    So wait… they want $100m in compensatory damages? That’s $9.1m per person!!!

    Lets say these people made $15/hr… that’s $31k/year… to justify a $9.1m payout means they are saying they planned to work at the company for 293 years.

    NOW THAT’S DEDICATION! How could you fire an employee like that?!?

    See you racist yokels in 2010 and 2012! You can embarass yourselves all you want but don’t embarass the nation (again).

    So, your omniscience (that means you know everything) tells you that these dopes are telling the unvarnished truth?

    Confederate flag? The Confederates were all Democrats, the Great Emancipator, not to mention Martin L. King, was a Republican.

    Sarah Palin (if that’s who you mean) never uttered a racist word for you to accuse her with, so you’re just a slanderer.

    Typical Obamunist.

    I live and work in the greater Phila. area. Trust me, anything they were doing on the job, they were overpaid and under criticized. For years ARamark has had the market cornered here in Phila. for food services and they suck! 99% of their employees are black. Hmmmmm, don’t see any WHITE lawsuits. I’m betting that Compass actually made these people WORK and when they didn’t they were fired, simple as that. But, as we all know, they will prevail, Compass will settle and whites will once again be trampled by their “oppressed” couterparts.

    Who exactly are you attacking anyway?

    Unless you have inside information, there’s no way to know the merit of the suit, what exactly happened, etc. For all we know these 11 people were some of the worst employees ever, maybe a couple of them just stopped coming to work, there might be stacks of documentation to attest to that – we don’t know.

    Seems to me, Rosie, that you’re little more than a race baiter hoping to get someone to start a racist conversation… did you notice it didn’t happen?

    Rosie, so they let you out the psychiatric hospital? Hope you remember to take your meds. Really, we did NOT miss you.
