Flight attendant fired for pro-life views wins $5.1 million lawsuit against airline, union

‘No American worker should have to fear termination, intimidation, or any other reprisal merely for speaking out against having their own money spent, purportedly in their name, to promote an agenda they find abhorrent.’

DALLAS (LifeSiteNews) — Pro-life Christian flight attendant Charlene Carter won a $5.1 million lawsuitagainst Southwest Airlines and the Transportation Workers Union of America (TWU) last week after she was fired from her job five years ago for objecting to her local union’s support for abortion.

A jury in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas delivered the verdict July 14, finding in Carter’s favor on all counts and awarding her $5.1 million in damages against TWU Local 556 and Southwest Airlines.

The finding came after Carter obtained legal representation from National Right to Work (NRTW) contending that the airline and local union violated her rights by firing her after she objected to the union’s use of employee dues to donate to the pro-abortion Women’s March in Washington, D.C.
