MINORITY GROUP SAYS DISNEY DISCRIMINATES

A minority group suing Walt Disney Attractions claims the company has inadequate goals for hiring minority contractors and workers.

The Minority Coalition for Progress Now said in a federal lawsuit filed Friday that Disney doesn't hire enough minority construction, supply and service businesses at Disney theme parks.

The lawsuit asks Disney to establish goals to hire 20 percent black-owned businesses, 10 percent Hispanic-owned businesses and 3 percent from other minorities.
