Another Discrimination Suit, Another Jury Award to a FedEx Employee - September 07, 2006

The latest lawsuit alleging discrimination at FedEx - this time by a FedEx Express shuttle driver in San Francisco - resulted in a jury decision of $500,000 in compensation for the worker.

FedEx claims its "Guaranteed Fair Treatment Procedure" is one of the best among all companies.  Then why do these FedEx workers need to go to the state or to the feds or to the courts to get claims of discrimination resolved?  This jury found not only the charges of discrimination were valid, the jury members also found that the company made this man's working life miserable to retaliate against his going outside the "GFTP" process.

FedEx can't avoid the conclusion that something is seriously wrong.  Either their managers are of questionable character.  Or "GFTP" itself is neither guaranteed or fair.
