United Airlines worker says she complained about sexual harassment. Managers then forced her to move a 300lb dead body

A United Airlines employee in New Jersey claims she faced relentless sexual harassment from her supervisor, and that her complaints only made things worse – culminating in an assignment to remove a 300-pound dead body from a plane, by herself, which left her badly injured and allegedly led to her eventual firing.

When Chantel Matthews showed up on November 1, 2022 for her first day of training as a ramp agent at Newark Liberty International Airport, her new supervisor greeted her by saying, “Welcome to United. You are fine as hell. Please complete your employee profile at any computer desk,” according to a newly filed federal lawsuit obtained by The Independent.
