Southfield Woman Sues WillScot Over Gorilla Photo, Alleged Groping at Metro Detroit Sites
A Southfield woman says her first week on the job at a WillScot construction site in Brighton set the tone for more than a year of racial harassment and unwanted touching that followed her from one company location to another. Juanita Porter filed a federal lawsuit on Thursday accusing WillScot and staffing agency Ultimate LLC of racial discrimination, sexual harassment, a hostile work environment and retaliation, alleging the mistreatment escalated from a racist joke to a gorilla photo hidden in her own locker and, eventually, repeated groping by a supervisor at a second facility.

Stinson: What Happened to the Company Built by a Pilot Who Logged Over 16,000 Flight Hours
In 1920, aviator Edward Stinson, also the brother of aviator Katherine Stinson, founded the Stinson Aircraft Company in Dayton, Ohio. After five years, Stinson moved his focus to Detroit, Michigan, for his future aviation projects. At the same time, he worked as a stunt pilot and earned $100,000 a year, which was a large amount at the time. He discovered that Detroit’s business community was open to his idea of developing his own airplane. Supported by Alfred V. Verville and local businessmen, members of the Aviation Committee of the Detroit Board of Commerce, Stinson set up the Stinson Aircraft Syndicate in 1925. The committee provided $25,000 to design and build a prototype. This prototype was a biplane with an enclosed cockpit that could carry four passengers and was powered by a Whirlwind J-4 air-cooled radial engine. The test flights took place at Packard Field in Roseville, Michigan, a suburb northeast of Detroit. The Stinson Detroiter SB-1 first flew from Packard Field on January 25, 1926. The airplane was unusual for the time, with an enclosed cabin. It was also equipped with heat, upholstered seats, and an electric cigar lighter, making it comfortable for passengers during cold Michigan winters. The plane became popular, and in February, Stinson offered flights to 70 riders.
