Feds deny delay as lawyer in multi-billion-dollar Black bureaucrats’ class-action suit calls Crown’s ‘overlap’ arguments ‘insulting’

This is 'the only legal action, the only class action in the history of Canada' that addresses discrimination against Black employees within the ranks of the public service, says legal adviser Kofi Achampong.

First filed in December 2020, a class-action lawsuit from current and former Black federal public servants now has nearly 1,300 class members. Pictured are Nicholas Marcus Thompson, left, one of the representative class members in the class-action lawsuit against the federal government; Kofi Achampong, principal lawyer and government relations adviser with Achampong Law; and Courtney Betty, the lawyer leading the class action.
