From Times Staff and Wire Service Reports
Circle K Accused of Racial Bias: The federal government filed suit against Phoenix-based Circle K Corp., alleging that the convenience-store retailer engaged in unfair labor practices with Asian employees in its Houston-area stores. In a suit filed in U.S. District Court in Houston, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission maintained that Circle K forced the resignation of two managers who refused to fire employees because of their race or national origin. George Parker Jr., a San Antonio, Tex., attorney representing Circle K, declined to comment on the suit.
