A legal nonprofit filed a federal civil rights complaint against Mars Inc. on Wednesday, alleging that the chocolate company blatantly discriminates against race, sex, and national origin in its hiring, promotion, and training practices.

America First Legal (AFL), a Washington-based nonprofit, filed the complaint (pdf) with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), asking the Commission to “investigate Mars’s systemic and discriminatory hiring, promotion, and job-training employment practices.”
