CHICAGO – Several employees openly talked to The TRiiBE’s Corli Jay about lawsuits filed against the utility company ConEd, alleging civil rights violations, a hostile work environment and unlawful employment practices.

Focusing on one former employee who worked at ComEd for over ten years, Corli’s piece details the allegations including hostile work environment, discrimination, blackballing, HR coverups and retaliatory firing. The story resonated strongly with readers, some of whom had similar experiences with ComEd themselves. Corli mentioned, “several people have reached out to me after reading the story wanting to join lawsuits and to share their stories about what they experienced at the company.”

Corli Jay is a Report For America corps member covering community investment in Chicago’s Black communities for The TRiiBE in Chicago.
