Protestors march over lack of diversity at Medical Mart construction site

Posted: Updated:
CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) -

Protest at the site of Cleveland's new Medical Mart on Friday.

The construction project is under fire over a lack of diversity among the work force. There is only a 19% minority workforce.

More than 60 protestors across from the Medical Mart marched for what they say is a lack of diversity at the construction site.

The county is 30% minority and the city of Cleveland is 67%, so a 19% minority workforce at the Medical Mart is concerning.
