A former Southwest Airlines employee has accused the airliner of racial discrimination, claiming coworkers set up a whites-only break room at Houston Hobby Airport in Texas and hung a noose at gate 45 at the airport during the four years he worked there, the federal lawsuit alleges.
Former employee Jamel Parker filed the suit in United States District Court in Houston on Wednesday.
Parker, who began working for AirTran in 2008 and joined Southwest in 2013 after the companies merged, says in the lawsuit that Southwest employees were “allowed” to “create a ‘WB,’ a whites-only break room.”
