Mark Lauray wasn’t even working at his job as a line cook at City Hall Cafe in Waterbury when someone’s purse was stolen, yet his former bosses still gave his name to the Waterbury Police investigating the theft at the restaurant.
Lauray, of Waterbury, was fired, despite the actual thief being found, and filed a complaint with the Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities, claiming he was discriminated against because he is African-American. The CHRO, having failed to get any response from City Hall Cafe, awarded Lauray more than $8,000 in damages and back pay in a decision released on March 31, instead of sending the case to the state court.
