Bush said he has consistently informed upper management of his interest in promotions, but has not received the same access to opportunities as his non-Black counterparts. He alleges that job descriptions are tailored to fit preselected candidates, further concealing bias against Black employees. In his division alone, Bush noted that only two of the 37 professional and managerial roles are held by Black employees.
