CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) — Work on FC Cincinnati’s soccer stadium came to a standstill Monday because there have been two “racist incidents” by workers in the past week, and construction won’t restart until everyone on the site undergoes anti-bias training, officials said.
David Spaulding, Turner Construction vice president and general manager, said the two “incidents” were caused by subcontractors on the work site, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported.
“Turner has zero tolerance for racism and hate. We removed the people responsible for these actions from the site and they will not be allowed back,” Spaulding said in a statement, adding that work will resume when the training is complete.
