Disingenuous Nonsense Report: 6.06.06 Edition - June 06, 2006

The level of arrogance at FedEx headquarters is truly amazing.  FedEx is stiffing the EEOC on an administrative subpoena that requests "basic information on the type of computerized or machine readable files that it maintains."  According to court filings, the EEOC is "currently investigating a charge alleging a pattern and practice of race and national origin discrimination" against FedEx Express.  The filings so far from the EEOC vs FedEx Corporation case in Arizona are now at our Resource page.

The Arizona press is digging more into the story.  And looking for more comment from FedEx.  FedEx spokeswoman Sandra Munoz replies, "This company does not tolerate discrimination of any kind."   This type of throw-away line is just more disingenuous nonsense with news of $61 million awards so fresh in everyone's mind.  The "no tolerance" broken promise must be on a three-by-five card given to all FedEx mouthpieces.

The charge and EEOC investigation are directly related to the Express employees' allegations in the Satchell vs FedEx Express class action lawsuit.
