FedEx Lawsuit

The issue detailed above by CBS News is only the latest discrimination issue that Fedex faces.  A news story from late in 2005 shows that Fedex East also faced scrutiny for allegations that 20 African American employees were denied promotions and assignments, and the reason for these decisions, according to the plaintiffs, was race. 

The case was ultimately settled for $500,000, but the monetary aspect of the settlement is only part of the result.  As a result of this settlement, Fedex must also:

1. Report on promotions from part-time to full-time dock workers;
2. Report on promotions to dock supervisor positions.

Fedex is continuing to face mounting legal controversies for several different reasons and in several different locations.  If you have been harmed by Fedex in any way, please contact the Fedex overtime attorneys at Pulaski & Middleman to schedule a free initial consultation.
