After a Milwaukee city contractor's employees were outed with guns and white supremacist iconography on work sites, the company is slated to lose upwards of $1 million.
As the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported, American Sewer Services was denied two contracts worth $800,000 after the Milwaukee Common Council passed a resolution against them. They are also prohibited from re-bidding on either contract.
In December, controversy roiled after a photo of a Ku Klux Klan sticker on an American Sewer Services employees' cooler went viral. In addition to the bigoted sticker, a photo of the company's employees holding guns on a work site also circulated, compounding the backlash against the company.
