Ten white employees at a Whirlpool Corp. factory have joined a $50 million federal lawsuit alleging racial discrimination against blacks at the plant. The suit against the La Vergne, Tenn., plant and its local union was first filed in 2003 by 15 black employees. The case went to mediation, but those talks broke down in July. An amended complaint Thursday says the white employees can attest "to an environment permeated with racial hatred, slurs, epithets and stereotypes."
