Former Delta employees sue U.S. airline, saying they were fired for speaking Korean
- 6 years ago
Four former Delta employees are suing one of the world's largest airlines for discrimination,... saying.... they were fired for speaking Korean at work.
All four of the Korean-born women claim in a lawsuit that they were "singled out and admonished" for speaking Korean.... while working for Delta at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
The women, all fired in May of 2017 say.... other employees were NOT asked to limit their non-English communications.
They also suspect their termination is also related to the reporting of sexual harassment.
Delta insists that the four were terminated for (quote) "offering unauthorized upgrades,"... something the women say were standard, particularly for oversold flights -- and that other agents who did so were not terminated.
