William B. Brock was recruited by Volkswagen as an Equal Employment Opportunity Administrator in the Personnel Office of the Westmoreland Plant in July 1977. According to court documents Mr. Brock was assured that he'd be responsible for the development and implementation of corporate efforts to employ blacks while ensuring the full compliance of Civil Rights and Equal Employment Opportunity Laws in the operation of the Volkswagen plant in New Stanton, Pennsylvania.
Court documents also indicated that Volkswagen undertook public and private surveillance of Mr. Brock, including electronic surveillance and monitoring of the business, social and personal activities of Mr. Brock. In addition, Volkswagen communicated threats to the life and safety of Mr. Brock and his family and fabricated knowingly false and groundless information while threatening to publicly defame Mr. Brock's character based on it.
