A former executive with Imperial Pacific International (IPI) has won a major discrimination lawsuit against the embattled casino operator. A court judge in the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) ruled that Joshua Gray’s case was strong enough. Still, the company’s track record of making good on outstanding debt might mean he’ll have difficulty collecting the money.
Gray began working for IPI’s Imperial Palace casino in Saipan in 2015. He had specifically relocated to the CNMI for the job, having previously worked for huge hospitality companies that included Westin Hotels and Resorts, and Wynn Resorts.
The US Naval Academy graduate remained with Imperial Palace for three and a half years, during which, as a ranking executive, he tried to make changes he felt were necessary. However, when IPI’s owner refers to you as a “fat black guy” in public, it’s difficult to get things done.
