So, here's an entirely insane story: A Southwest employee was fired in 2017 for sending graphic anti-abortion messages to her co-worker. And a Trump-appointed judge determined Southwest should pay her $800,000.Another day, another truly jarring reminder that federal judicial appointments matter. Last year, a Trump-appointed judge, U.S.
Instead, Southwest told its staff that the company “does not discriminate,” and instructed flight attendants to follow the airline policy for workplace civility that the company cited in firing Carter. Starr immediately found Southwest to be in contempt of his orders for not explicitly stating that it can’t discriminate against workers “for their religious practices and beliefs,” and ordered the company to pay Carter’s legal fees, too.
All of this is… crazy??? In sum, Southwest fired Carter for sending what sounded like horrific anti-abortion messages to a co-worker and consequently violating workplace policy.
