Comments on: Racial slur at Chevron sparks outrage http://jaclblog.wordpress.com/2010/02/22/racial-slur-at-chevron-sparks-outrage/ for young asian american professionals Fri, 05 Mar 2010 22:57:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: seanwithchevron http://jaclblog.wordpress.com/2010/02/22/racial-slur-at-chevron-sparks-outrage/#comment-17 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 22:57:06 +0000 http://jaclblog.wordpress.com/?p=316#comment-17 I am a spokesperson for Chevron, and learned about this forum from one of our employees. While we will not comment on the specifics of this matter because Mr. Suzuki has not allowed us to discuss his personnel matter publicly, we share your concerns about equal employment opportunity and strongly believe that hateful and discriminatory conduct is intolerable.

Because we take the concerns raised by Mr. Suzuki seriously, we engaged an independent, third-party attorney, Susan Kumagai, who specializes in employment law, to conduct an impartial and thorough investigation. That independent counsel interviewed 14 witnesses, including those identified by Mr. Suzuki. She was unable to substantiate Mr. Suzuki’s allegations.

So while we disagree with Mr. Suzuki and his attorney’s version of the events, we want you to know that we remain steadfast in our commitment to equal employment opportunity.

We appreciate the opportunity to address the concerns raised in this forum.
