AUBURN – The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is investigating claims that some black custodial employees in the Auburn University Student Center are being paid less that white co-workers.
The complaint is also being investigated by Auburn’s Office of Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opportunity. A spokesman for the employees, Tyrone Durrell, said the complaint started after a paycheck stub was left in a break room for other workers to see.
Auburn University spokesman Mike Clardy said school officials were working to resolve the complaint promptly.
Durrell said white workers hired after senior black employees were paid more, but lacked custodial experience at Auburn or their previous jobs.
