Black workers sue General Mills in Georgia over racism claims
Eight Black employees allege decades of discrimination at the Covington cereal plant led by white managers dubbed the Good Ole Boys.

The case, Davis et al v General Mills Operations LLC, seeks damages under federal civil rights and racketeering laws.
