Boswell v. FedEx (Sexual Harassment)
In April 2007, a federal jury in San Francisco awarded $3 million in a sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit against FedEx. Charlotte Boswell, a former dispatcher at a FedEx facility in Oakland, claimed that her supervisor sexually harassed her and, when she rejected his advances, changed her work hours in retaliation. The jury awarded Boswell $300,000 for lost earnings, $250,000 for emotional pain and suffering and $2,450,000 in punitive damages. The judge later cut the punitive award to $300,000, but in June 2010, the appellate court granted Boswell a new trial to determine punitive damages.
