LifeNews.com @LifeNewsHQ - BREAKING: Southwest Airlines has paid nearly $1 million to a flight attendant it fired for expressing her pro-life views.
Charlene Carter, who worked 21 years as a flight attendant, was terminated in 2017 after she sent pro-life messages to leaders of the Transport Workers Union Local 556.
The messages protested the union’s support for the 2017 Women’s March, a radical pro-abortion event which was linked to Planned Parenthood.
Carter had resigned from the union in 2013 over religious differences. But she was still required to pay union dues.
She sued both Southwest Airlines and the union, arguing the firing retaliated against her pro-life convictions. A federal jury in 2022 agreed, ruling that the airline and union violated her rights under federal law.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the decision.
U.S. District Judge Brantley Starr ordered Southwest to reinstate Carter and pay her more than $810,000 in damages, including about $150,000 in back pay. The judge also required the airline to notify employees of their rights against religious discrimination.
But Southwest drug its feet. And in 2023, Judge Starr held Southwest in contempt.
Today, Southwest satisfied the judgment by paying Carter $946,102.87, according to a court filing.
Carter welcomed the resolution as a victory for religious liberty.
“Today is a victory for freedom of speech and religious beliefs,” she said. “Flight attendants should have a voice and nobody should be able to retaliate against a flight attendant for engaging in protected speech against her union.”

BONGINO: “I know you're like, what do I care about the L.A. mayor's race for? You should, because there's a guy running named Spencer Pratt.
He was in a reality show earlier on in his lifetime. The guy's house burned down in the Palisades fire. He's now running for mayor against Karen Bass, kind of an entrenched Democrat, establishmentarian, far left liberal.
