The U.S. District Court of the Southern District of Texas recently ordered FedEx to pay $366 million to a former employee who sued over racial discrimination and retaliation. It rejected the company’s request to undo the jury’s verdict. The company immediately appealed the court’s decision on Feb. 3.
Background
In May 2021, Jennifer Harris, a Black former sales manager for FedEx in Texas, sued the shipping company for racial discrimination and retaliating against her for complaining about discrimination.
