Two placements, two quick exits - each one right after he complained, a lawsuit alleges
A contract worker says he was harassed over his sexuality at two General Motors sites, then dropped after he complained.
That is the heart of a lawsuit filed on July 8, 2026, in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The plaintiff, described in the complaint as a bisexual man and a skilled automotive professional, says he was placed at two GM facilities in southeast Michigan within roughly five months - first through the staffing firm LanceSoft on a V2X services contract, then through the staffing firm ICONMA. He is suing GM, V2X, LanceSoft, and ICONMA under Title VII and Michigan's Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act.
The alleged pattern is what HR leaders will notice. According to the complaint, both placements ran the same way: once his LGBT status became known, coworkers began harassing him; he reported the conduct in writing; and his assignment ended soon after - while, the filing says, the people he named kept working.
At the second site, a GM facility in Clawson, the complaint says the conduct escalated from remarks mocking his orientation to comments he understood as threats. It attributes to one coworker the words "who's going to kill him." After he filed a civil-rights complaint with the state, the filing alleges, two coworkers gestured toward him and one of them used the words "hit him over the head with a hammer" and "and snap!"
