Samsung’s US hub, South Korea headquarters hit with racism allegations
A former senior engineer is accusing Samsung of wrongful dismissal after he reported an alleged racist remark. The legal dispute, which is expected to involve Samsung Electronics' US unit and its headquarters in South Korea, centers around claims of unlawful prejudice against dark-skinned employees.
Andrew Mo, formerly an engineering leader at Google AI, alleges his employment with Samsung Research America (SRA) was wrongfully terminated in January 2022. He has filed a motion to amend his complaint, seeking to add Samsung Electronics America and Samsung Electronics as defendants, citing testimonies that discriminatory practices originated from the headquarters, favoring Korean and Caucasian men for high-level positions. Samsung's headquarters declined to comment on the ongoing legal proceedings.
