Jury awards Fort Worth woman the largest single discrimination judgment ever against FedEx

Jennifer Harris says FedEx human resources allowed managers to retaliate against her. FedEx denies her claims despite her subsequent termination.

Good for her. Too many corporations allow racism to continue even after their knowledge of it.

Hey all, going thru the same thing myself in NYS ... a co-worker & myself were told we had to cut our dreadlocks off, he did, I refused & was denied a promotion that went to someone w/ ZERO relevant experience so I filed a NYS division of human rights case & I am now alleging that I was terminated for it because I was suspended the very same day I alerted management that it was me & terminated a week later.

It's not the company, it's the ppl in it.

Yeah my brother worked for fedex and some of the stuff he told me was unbelievable. The abuse he endured, I swore he had to be lying. He eventually walked off & quit when he got a government job. After watching all these other cases, I see he was telling the truth

[t.h.]

Sad part is they still insist that her termination was right. She made you money and you let her go! She had every right to feel like burning the place down but filed with HR, they retaliated she sued.

Im going through this right now with fedex. They are trying to settle out of court. After seeing whst she got in rethinking whst i should settle for because i an sueing for more then just retaliation and discrimination

[franksfamily]

No amount of money will repair the emotional harm she endured. Unfortunately, defendants will never admit wrong doing and simply say the jury got it wrong.

Ask how bad it is for FedEx ground contractors, all of them have stories that would end up in lawsuits that they would win because of how bad it is.

SMH the appeals court reduced her compensation to a mere $250k. This crime must be stopped.

[carmellam.]

Yet, companies keep the bad managers and fight the victims of discrimination...Ridiculous.

They should do a sting and place a informer in these companies and hold these managers personally liable in addition to the companies.

We all know what corporate HR and corporate employment counsel are about. They work for the CEO and the board to maximize the bottom line. Of course, they want to put up a straight face and appeal. They released that statement for public relations reasons or, put plainly, to minimize the damage to their bottom line. Good for her, and good luck with the law suit.

What are the names to these attorneys?

[dragraceoldnew]

FedEx managers always retaliate and they collude to cover retaliation. I worked there for 3 years. Some managers also set you up and then write you up for the setup.

CHEERS to her and her AMAZING legal team 🎉🙌🎊👏❤️

Almost similar thing happened to me at GE, first they attempted to fudge my performance but when that did not work they shuffled the team and closed my position.

Everyone needs to consult an attorney when fired wrongfully. Most work off retainer. Always save things at work. Make it easy for your lawyer.

[mspadstyle]

She was saying before they cut her off. When you know there is an active discrimination going on, Give it your best shot and fight !! Bravo !

[vanessahuaman]

I have a similar issue right now with a wrongful termination because of a new disability and a upcoming continuous leave. Can someone please send me the lawyer team

[atruckershustle]

Can someone please send us the information of the attorneys that represented her as soon as possible. We have a host with a big case on the line with a mega carrier in that trucking industry.

Why is punitive a damage Awards like this so hard for people to understand? I agree in a lot of these cases that the people may not be deserving of these outrageous Awards but that is not the point a punitive award against the defendant should not be taken as something that the plaintiff deserved it's punitive punishment.
It's like the punitive award over the McDonald's Hot Coffee case people just cannot understand that award for hot coffee I bet you more would if it was their grandmother that got burned and then they found out that McDonald's had been fined and warned about their corporate greed 193 times but continue to brew their coffee at scalding temperatures all in an effort to squeeze every penny out of every grain of coffee.
