A federal judge is heaping sanctions on Southwest Airlines for, he says, failing to follow his orders in a case involving a fired flight attendant's free-speech rights.
Carter, a longtime union critic, said she was fired after she called the union president “despicable” for attending the 2017 Women’s March in Washington, D.C. At the event, women protested the inauguration of President Donald Trump and called for protecting abortion rights among many issues.
Instead, the airline told employees that it “does not discriminate,” and it doubled down by telling flight attendants to follow the airline policy that it cited in firing Carter.
