Woman Gets Award in Discrimination Case: A San Bernardino County Superior Court jury awarded $780,000 to Shirley Miles, a 39-year-old black woman who accused the Stater Bros. supermarket chain of racial discrimination and sexual harassment on the job. Miles, who joined the company as an employee in its Colton warehouse in 1990, said the company refused to intervene after she was repeatedly taunted with racial epithets and sexually offensive remarks by four other union employees, including a foreman. Stater Bros., which said it investigated all of the alleged incidents and found no evidence of wrongdoing, vowed to appeal.
