This escalated Carter’s Facebook messages to Stone, which now included videos of “aborted” babies. The union used dues and fees to pay for the union’s expenses associated with the march.
She called Stone “morally bankrupt,” “lacking in morals,” a “criminal,” “Pure Evil,” and a “DISGRACE.” She sent Stone a picture of a t-shirt stating, “F***TARD, I VOTED BRETT NEVAREZ CAUSE HE RESPECTS ME.” Carter supported a recall campaign, posted and sent messages on social media expressing her disapproval of the union and its leadership, and accused the union of corruption.Ĭarter also described herself as a Christian who believes that “abortion is the taking of a human life contrary to the teachings of the Bible and the will of God.” In January 2017, Stone and other Southwest flight attendants participated in the Women’s March in Washington D.C. These ranged from insults and name-calling to shocking images. Admittedly, Carter sent numerous messages to the union president’s Facebook Messenger account. Southwest claimed Carter was terminated because of a “two-year grossly offensive and terrible campaign to personally torment” Audrey Stone, former union president. Flight attendant wages grossly offensive campaign against union leaderĬharlene Carter, a long-term Southwest Airlines flight attendant, claimed her employment was terminated either (1) in retaliation for opting out of her union, or (2) because of her religious beliefs in violation of Title VII. A recent jury verdict against Southwest Airlines and Transport Workers Union of America, Local 556 is an interesting study in the tension between an employer’s right to police an employee’s statements on social media and the employee’s right to make those statements.
