SAN FRANCISCO AP – A day after FedEx Corp. agreed to pay almost $55 million to settle a racial discrimination class-action lawsuit, a federal jury Wednesday awarded $3 million to a former worker who sued the company for sexual harassment.
Charlotte Boswell, a Stockton resident who worked in the company’s Oakland dispatch center until she quit in 2000 after a nearly 12-year career, accused a FedEx supervisor of inappropriately kissing and hugging her. She alleged that, after she complained, her supervisor assigned her to work Saturdays, a shift she couldn’t work because she has a daughter with special needs whom she needed to care for on the weekends.
