A former Southwest Airlines flight attendant who was fired after conflicting with her union president over abortion won a $5.1 million jury verdict against the airline and the union, the The Associated Press reported.
Charlene Carter could collect $4.15 million from Southwest and $950,000 from Local 556 of the Transport Workers Union, mostly in punitive damages, the AP reported. The verdict came in federal district court in Dallas last week.
The Southwest flight attendant alleged she was fired in March, 2017, after complaining to the union president about flight attendants from Southwest going to a women's march in Washington, D.C. The march in the capital city was called shortly after the election of former President Donald Trump to protest his positions on abortion and other issues.
Carter, who is anti-abortion, disapproved that union dues were paying for Union President Audrey Stone and other union officials to attend the protest, and that union members who wanted to attend the march had been granted adjustments to their work schedules, Fortune reported.

Some evidence that unions are useless and don’t care about their “members.”

The dispute is about the woman being fired for complaining that others were getting preferential treatment, which they were. It really isn’t about abortion. But the media is putting ‘abortion’ in the title for hits.
It IS about abortion because it reveals how big corporations and their unions are supporting abortion with indirect big money and allowing their communist employees and union officials time off to be basically paid protesters.
