Commerce Department hiring and promoting is racially discriminatory and subjective, claim 13 current and former employees who filed a $500 million class action lawsuit Wednesday. The plaintiffs aim to represent all black employees who have worked at the department in the last 10 years as well as black and non-black employees who claim retaliation after speaking out against what the suit calls "systemic race discrimination" at the agency. That could be more than 6,000 people.
