49. Plaintiff incorporates herein by reference each and every allegation contained in paragraphs1 through 28 with full force and effect as though fully set forth herein.
50. White is a Latino male, born XX/XX/1968, and is of Mexican descent and/or national origin. White is presently 40 years of age.
51. On or about January 2006, White was hired by Defendant UCC. His last position with Defendant UCC was working in packaging, earning $7.50 per hour.
52. On or about June 2006, White’s employment with Defendant UCC was terminated by Defendant Paul Smith on the basis that there was no work. That was and is false and is a pretext for abusive employment practices at UCC.
53. While White was employed at UCC, he endured a daily pattern and practice of sexual and racial discrimination, harassment and retaliation resulting from serious and pervasive sexual and racial discrimination and harassment against Latina workers resulting in a sexually and racially hostile work environment, including but not limited to:

c) Defendant Paul Smith maintained inside the workplace areas open and notorious sexual relationship with two other women known as Marta and Justine.
d) Defendant Paul Smith made it clear to the Latina work force that things would be better for them at work is they went along with the sexual expectations.
e) Defendant Paul Smith extended more favorable treatment to the women romantically involved with him in the workplace with respect to terms and conditions of employment.
f) Defendant Paul Smith daily uttered sexually offensive remarks to non-compliant Latina women including labeling the Latina workers:
– bitch
– stupid cunts
– cunts
– panochas (derived from Spanish language derogatory term for vagina)
– pan (short for panochas)
– would form a triangle with his bilateral thumb and index fingers directing at Latina workers while sticking out his wiggling tongue.
g) Defendant Paul Smith did not utter any similar sexually and/or racially offensive words at the non-Latina workers and did not perform any same or similar acts to the non-Latina workers.

As a direct result of her refusal, David Smith terminated Alcala’s employment, on the pretext that there was no work for her.
k) Shortly thereafter, a message was conveyed to Plaintiff Patricia Green for her to tell Plaintiff White that there was no more work for him. Plaintiff Patricia Green then told White that he had been fired.
