Southwest Airlines Employee Receives $5.1 Million in Lawsuit Against TWU Officials for Religious Discrimination

Southwest Airlines flight attendant Charlene Carter filed a lawsuit against Transportation Workers Union (TWU) officials with help from the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, after they allegedly fired her based on her religious pro-life stance. She won the settlement, receiving $5.1 million for compensation and damaged.

In The Christian Post, National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation President Mark Mix is quoted:

“This long overdue verdict vindicates Ms. Carter’s fundamental right to dissent from the causes and ideas that TWU union officials – who claim to ‘represent’ Southwest flight attendants – support while forcing workers to bankroll their activities,” said National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix.

“No American worker should have to fear termination, intimidation, or any other reprisal merely for speaking out against having their own money spent, purportedly in their name, to promote an agenda they find abhorrent.”
