Case: Discrimination/Race Discrimination (N.D. Tex.)

A Texas federal district court denied Amazon’s motion to dismiss a Black warehouse associate’s claims of race discrimination under 42 U.S.C. § 1981 and interference and retaliation under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, finding that the employee plausibly alleged he was qualified for his position, suffered adverse employment actions when denied accommodations for his leg injury, was treated less favorably than a similarly situated non-Black employee, and was terminated nine days after requesting FMLA leave.
