A federal judge dismissed one claim in a racial discrimination lawsuit filed against Founders Brewing Co. by a former black employee.
However, the plaintiff can continue with several other claims that are part of the suit.
The judge dismissed a claim that former employee Tracy Evans was passed over for a promotion in favor of two less qualified white employees, but only did so because Founders requires employees to sign a highly unusual pre-employment agreement. It significantly shortens the statute of limitations in such lawsuits, and Founders wasn't actually cleared of wrongdoing.
