A lawsuit accusing GE of racial and religious discrimination against two Jewish-American businessmen, Albert and Harris Schwartzberg, whose companies owned and operated nursing homes and assisted living facilities financed with a $44 million term loan and a $22 million operating loan in which GE eventually took a lead role, was the subject of an article here last year.
Earlier this month a federal judge in Louisiana, Ruben Castillo, dismissed the complaint and ordered the complainants to pay Richard Arrowsmith, the GE employee whose behavior was at issue in the suit, $28,518.05 in legal costs.
