Reuters, "FedEx
Express Settles Racial Bias Suit" |
Package delivery
company FedEx Corp. said Wednesday that it had
agreed to settle a racial discrimination lawsuit
brought against its express unit, FedEx Express,
for $53.5 million. The suit alleged that FedEx
Express discriminated against its African American
and Latino workers by passing them over for promotion,
paying them less than white workers and treating
them unfairly in evaluation and disciplinary proceedings.
Memphis, Tenn.-based
FedEx has denied the accusations. FedEx said it voluntarily entered into the
settlement, which is subject to approval by the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of California. The settlement would affect about 20,000 employees who
work or have worked for FedEx in the company's western U.S. region, which includes
California, Washington, Utah and Hawaii, since October 1999. |
