FedEx settles race discrimination case for nearly $55 million
Tagged: judgePosted on: April 12th, 2007“A federal judge is scheduled to hold a hearing in San Francisco Friday on whether to grant preliminary approval of a nearly $55 million settlement of a race discrimination lawsuit against FedEx Express.
The proposed settlement was filed with U.S. District Judge Susan Illston on Monday by lawyers for FedEx workers.
Under the pact, about 20,000 black and Hispanic workers in FedExs western U.S. region will receive $38.5 million and their lawyers will receive $15 million for fees and costs. Another $1.35 million in interest can be used for future administrative costs.”
