On Nov. 10, 2009, a jury rejected claims that a company refused to promote one of its workers because he is Hispanic. Epifanio Zuniga, an employee in the information technology department of Grant Prideco, said he applied for three different management positions in 2006 and 2007 but was rejected. He alleged he didn’t get the promotions because of his race, noting that the jobs went to white applicants. He also said he wasn’t promoted in retaliation for a racial discrimination complaint he filed against a supervisor in 2004. Grant Prideco argued Zuniga wasn’t picked for the positions because other applicants were more qualified. It also contended that Zuniga received a promotion in 2005, after he had complained about his supervisor.
