A california man is suing a high end store saying it discriminated against him and africanamerican customers. It was filed against vercacci usa after an incident that happened at the San Francisco Premium Outlet store. Paul chambers is following the story and spoke to the mans lawyer and has reactions from shoppers. What are they saying . It is an interesting story. A 30 page complaint that we received from the lawyer today. It says had the man worked at the store in the Premium Outlets he was told to tug on something black or hold it up to let people know that African Americans had entered the store. This vercacci store located at the San Francisco Premium Outlets is where a 23yearold man name chris sampeen opposing worked. He filed a complaint against the store saying while undergoing training he was taught to discriminate against africanamericans. Our client was trained to announce this verbal code if an africanamerican customer comes into the store. Theres also a nonverbal code where the employee would tug on a black article of clothing. Sampan opposing claimed the code was d410 and told to use it when an africanamerican entered the store. Sampan opposing of mixed race claims he was terminated after working there less than a month. When asked why the complaint states he wasnt let go because of performance but because he doesnt understand luxury. And because he doesnt know the luxury life. Which his lawyers believe is code for Racial Discrimination lawsuit. Given the code that they have for a black customer coming in the store it doesnt take much of a logical leap to assume that you havent lived the luxury life is code for we dont want an africanamerican american employee and so our client was terminated. Asked if this is corporate or just a store one the lawyer says it is too soon to tell where the command came from but as part of the investigation, they will find out. Typically we can connect it at least one level up the hierarchy to the regional level and often times we can connect it to the top. Unfortunately this type of behavior is not new. Commonplace for many establishments for years. It doesnt surprise me that an upscale store like vercacci would do that. I like the lawsuit because we need to take a stand against stores and it has to be made known. They treated us kindly and i would go back to the store again. Now we reached out to vercacci and the attorney representative did not get back to us but we have heard that the accusations are false and they will meet in federal court in march. Paul chambers from livermore. Paul, thank you. Well Oakland Police are searching for a gunman that shot and killed the former marine in east oakland.

Outrage over the election of donald trump have some people in california pushing for independence. Why a political expert tells us the chances of california leaving the union are zero. Yesterday a lot of folks in alot of places supposedly using social media injured people and damaged property at malls. The question is should that social media be liable . It is being called cal exit. A moment that appears to be gaining ground since the election of donald trump. Supporters want california to become its own independent nation. Monny francis, will this have a chance of becoming a reality. They want an International Presence and opening an embassy in russia but the idea faces huge hurtles. In california outrage over the election of donald trump is on regular display. Hillary clinton received four million more votes in the state than trump did and given that much of the company is made up of red states. The idea of breaking away doesnt seem as crazy to some as it once did. The approach is peaceful and legal and connected to doing a small and significant tweet to the californians constitution. Clear heads the bay area chapter of yes california. A grass movement. She says the level of support has tripled since the election. It was such such a strong divide. The people that wanted to vote trump in and those that saw a different future. Voting him in. It looks like it is not feasible. California is the worlds 6th largest economy and pays the federal government 370 billion a year in taxes. Yes, california says that is much more than the states fair share. The group needs half a million signatures to qualify for the ballot in 2018. Hadean believes that cal exit is a possibility but political analyst brian sobbal is not confident putting the union at zero. It would be anticipated it would be challenged to the Supreme Court but at the end of the day you would need 2 3 ratification from other states. California is a huge economic engine for the United States. And the idea that other states in the union would say oh, yeah, you can leave and go off on your own is not only unlikely, it is incredibly improbable. The founder of this is american and lives and works in russia announced the opening of an office in russia tweeting that the embassy of the independent of california opens in moscow. Hadean says there is a value in showcasing the influence and economic power. Even if the effort ultimately fails. I think that the fact that we are saying so outloud and this will get louder than we would rather be independent i think it gives people poor support on both sides. And the group plans to grab signatures next month. Two big questions. Would a majority of californians support the measure and if it does pass will 2 3 of congress go along.
