In a recent development, a federal appeals court has overturned a massive $366 million race bias verdict against FedEx, bringing relief to the company. The decision marks a significant turning point in a long-standing legal battle.
The case dates back to 2004 when a group of African-American FedEx drivers filed a lawsuit, alleging that the company discriminated against them in terms of pay and promotion opportunities. The lawsuit, initially filed in federal court in Memphis, Tennessee, grew into a class-action suit representing more than 2,000 individuals.
