We are a group of present and former African American employees of the Eli

Lilly Company. We believe that the company does not give African

Americans equal pay for equal work and does not give its African American

employees the same opportunities for advancement that others enjoy.

Further, the company seems to have a pattern of retaliatino against those

who complain of discrimination too loudly. We have retained a law firm to

seek legal relief. If you think you might be part of this group and are

interested in discussing your situation in confidence with our lawyer,

Or a time when a cashier would put your change on the counter instead of your hand. Or a time when a black walks in an upscale store, they are followed around by the salesperson and every time they touch something the salesperson sneers and states the price. Or what about going to a restaurant and you tell the server you want extra this or add that to your order and they look down there nose at you and say,"its gonna cost extra, do you still want it?". And lets not forget the DWB (driving while black),driving and suddenly pulled over for no explained reason. Sounds like Rosa Parks era? No, welcome to my 21st century living while black in America. This is life as a black person in our America, the America that was built on the backs of Black Americans.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe path to equality will take a group effort. AND a willingness to learn about those who are different than you and accepting that difference is not a bad thing, but a cultural base for that group of people. \r\nOur goal at Lilly is to have equal treatment amongst all Employees regardless of color, and with education and the commitment to understand each others differences, it can and will happen hopefully someday soon. The African American Class is one tool that has the power to begin to make those changes happen.\r\n\r\nIt saddens me to see the mistreatment of people regardless of their skin color. But it is our job, excuse me, it is our right as citizens to make the corporate management at Eli Lilly do their jobs, and if they can't do that, then we need to get rid of them. By allowing the racial discrimination to continue to stay these positions and not acknowledge these practices, they will continue to neglect these civil rights and equal opportunities that they should be committed to do. \r\n\r\nToday is a good day for you to make the contact; make a difference \r\n","author":"Black Lilly Employee","parent_id":146917,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2006-05-11 20:05:16","modified":"2006-05-11 20:05:16","fileurl":""},{"id":162473,"heading":"Eli Lilly shame","article":"Well said,i applaud your blog,mental health consumers are the least capable of self advocacy,my doctors made me take zyprexa for 4 years which was ineffective for my symptoms.I now have a victims support page against Eli Lilly for it's Zyprexa product causing my diabetes.--Daniel Haszard www.zyprexa-victims.com ","author":"Daniel Haszard","parent_id":146917,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2006-06-06 18:36:36","modified":"2006-06-06 18:36:36","fileurl":""}]}
