BOSTON — An Iraqi refugee who had held a job as an overnight stocker at a city Whole Foods grocery store has taken the supermarket chain to federal court, claiming he faced rampant racism at the hands of two co-workers and that complaints to his superiors went ignored.
Emad Siddeeq, who lives in Revere and began working for the grocery giant in August 2013, claims he "routinely complained to his supervisors at Whole Foods about the discrimination and harassment, yet no remedial action was taken."
