Alcorn v. Anbro Engineering, Inc.

Alcorn (plaintiff), a Black truck driver, was shouted at, subjected to racially demeaning remarks, and told he'd be fired by his supervisor Palmer after a workplace dispute, with an Anbro (defendant) owner later ratifying Palmer's conduct; Alcorn suffered humiliation, physical illness, and was unable to work for weeks. The trial court sustained Anbro's demurrer and dismissed Alcorn's intentional-infliction-of-emotional-distress claim.
