Black book club women booted from Napa Valley wine train settle suit
they had a really old lady with them. :disgust glad the money came through :thumbsup
SAN FRANCISCO-- A group of mostly black women who filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against the Napa Valley Wine Train have settled the case for an undisclosed amount. The group's attorney, Waukeen McCoy, told the San Jose Mercury News on Monday the two parties reached a settlement last week. He says the settlement amount is confidential. The 11 women, 10 black and one white, said they had gathered on the train to discuss a romance novel. But before the train left the station in Napa, a train employee asked them to quiet down because they were offending other passengers, the women said. When the train reached St. Helena, they were escorted off the train into a dirt lot where police were waiting, according to the lawsuit. The women sought $11 million in damages. The CEO of the company issued an apology a few days after the incident. "The Napa Valley Wine Train was 100 percent wrong in its handling of this issue," CEO Anthony "Tony" Giaccio said in a statement. "We accept full responsibility for our failures and for the chain of events that led to this regrettable treatment of our guests." In October, CBS San Francisco reported that 35 people traveled from Oakland to wine country on what was called "The Wine Soul Train," a response to the Napa Valley Wine Train incident.

It would have helped if someone had videoed them to see how much noise they were making.
Would a crown of noisy white people getting thrown off a train, received the same treatment and result? |

There probably WAS video. That's why the Train had to payout.
If there was no video proof, the Train would have stuck to their story. Probably, part of the setllement agreement was to have the video sealed. It may be declassified in 2056. |

By the way. I have been on wine tours in Italy, Spain and Chile. I tell you what. By the time you get to #3 stop you are fucked up. |
Of course it was racism. What else could it be? Surely not disturbance or behavior related reasons.

There is no reason to 2nd guess the business acumen of the Napa Valley Wine Train. They agreed to the settlement and they apologized. Everyone got what they wanted through negotiations. Everyone happy. |
