REYNOLDSON, Justice.
This is an appeal by Leo L. Griggs, a black, and the Iowa Civil Rights Commission from a district court decree which nullified a Commission finding that Wilson-Sinclair Company had discriminated against Griggs in his employment. We affirm the district court decision.
Wilson-Sinclair Company (Wilson) operates a meat processing plant in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Approximately 2600 persons are employed at this plant, of whom 75 to 80 (about 3 percent) are black. Members of the black race in Cedar Rapids total only 1746 persons and constitute 1.58 percent of the city population.
