The lawsuit claims they were denied opportunities to work on Charter flights for theDawn expressed her feelings, saying, "It's hurtful that I'm never going to be enough. I can't change the color of my skin.
"When my clients complained about these things, they were demoted and ultimately removed from the Dodgers Charter flight, leaving no one who is a person of color on this dedicated crew," Yebri said. Darby shared examples of the alleged harassment she faced from co-workers before being removed from the charter flight list. She recalled an incident where a colleague criticized her for speaking Spanish to a non-English-speaking pitcher, saying, "We're in America speak English."
On another occasion, a co-worker derogatorily referred to her as the maid, insinuating that her presence on the charter was solely for cleaning duties."United fosters an environment of inclusion and does not tolerate discrimination of any kind. We believe this lawsuit is without merit and intend to defend ourselves vigorously."Dawn emphasized that they don't want to be in this situation but feel compelled to stand up for their rights.
