United Airlines Sued by Flight Attendants for Alleged Discrimination in Sports Charter Staffing
-
Two United Airlines flight attendants filed a lawsuit alleging discrimination in staffing charter flights for the LA Dodgers baseball team.
-
The attendants claim they were passed over in favor of younger, thinner, predominantly white and blonde female coworkers.
-
The plaintiffs allege harassment, discrimination based on age, race, national origin and religion.
-
The women have worked for United for over 15 years but were repeatedly denied these lucrative sports team charter assignments.
-
A prior lawsuit against United for similar discriminatory staffing practices was settled in 2020, but the plaintiffs claim the issues arose again in 2022.
