Southwest Airlines challenges $800k award to fired flight attendant for anti-abortion views, claiming religious discrimination.
Southwest Airlines is back in federal court to challenge a $800k award to flight attendant Charlene Carter, who asserts she was fired for her anti-abortion views. Carter's legal team argues that her firing contravened federal law protecting employees from religious-based discrimination. The court has additionally ordered three Southwest lawyers to complete eight hours of religious liberty training from the conservative Christian legal group, Alliance Defending Freedom, due to the company's handling of the case.
