This racism charge is a convenient new way of saying that "my dog ate the homework." There comes a time when you have to perform just like everyone else.
BTW, I bet it was a gun free zone. At UPS, which is also a Teamster operation, we're not even allowed to have guns locked up in our cars in the parking lot.

A few years ago, I hired a young black woman for a customer
service position who seemed fun and energetic. She had an ego problem we
didn't see at the time.
My office manager had to tell her
multiple times to stay at her cubicle and take calls instead of going
off to visit with other employees who were on their breaks. She became
quite nasty with my office manager who wrote her up several times.
I
got involved because I was the office manager's boss as well. We even
got the owners involved. My recommendation was to fire her, but no, we
had to give her another chance. After giving her many more chances than
we had ever given other employeees, I told the owners that they must be
afraid to fire a black employee. Oh no, no, she really does mean well,
they said.
The last confrontation between her and my office
manager was with her shouting: If the O.M. didn't stop with the write
ups, "I'm going to go postal on you"!
I knew exactly what that meant.
Detroit
area post offices had several incidents over the years of disgruntled
employees shooting and/or killing other post office workers after they
had received negative job evaluations, warnings, or firings.
Finally
our gal was fired, but with her sense of entitlement and her
hair-trigger temper, management was putting our other employees at risk.
Moral
of the story, don't play around with employees who show aberrant
behavior just because of Affirmative Action and what that involves - you
could get somebody killed.
