OAKBROOK, Ill. -- An Oakbrook Center Macy's employee is blowing the whistle, claiming that he was part of a security team that was forced to racially profile Black and Hispanic shoppers.
"I was in a hostile work environment. I felt pressured to stop people. They had a quota. They pushed me! They pushed me," Montes said."I have to be cathartic, they wanted me to stop African-Americans and Hispanics." He claims that when a Black or Hispanic customer walks in the store, they are often labeled by a code.He said he was part of a seven-person security team, which he said consisted of people who were white, Hispanic, and Asian -- but none were Black.
"I'm crazy about Macy's, but if these allegations are found to be true, I plan to tear up my Macy's card," said Tio Hardiman, with Violence Interrupters.
It should read “ a former fired Macys employee claims a load of bullshit that ABC 7 declined to actually investigate”. Lazy ABC 7 just took his word for it and should be sued into the ground for this.

And I imagine it's gonna be an uphill battle trying to recruit anyone into a field that's being villified the way teachers are right now. Especially Black people whose history is being erased from the curriculum. Maybe they should make working for CMSD more inviting by paying the teachers what they're worth
