Company Settles Maui Racial Bias Suit
Source: Honululu Star Bulletin
Date: December 13, 2003
United Parcel Service has agreed to pay $150,000 in a settlement of a racial bias lawsuit brought by a former Maui resident. Carlos Harris, an African American, alleged he was fired by UPS for swearing on the job on Maui in 1998 while other drivers engaging in similar conduct were disciplined less harshly. The two-year consent decree also requires UPS to take steps to prevent future discrimination, including conducting periodic anti-discrimination training for all of its Hawaii employees.
