A jury has awarded a former flight attendant for Southwest Airlines $5 million after she was forced to pay for union activities against her pro-life beliefs, according to Fox Business.
Charlene Carter joined TWU Local 556, the union for Southwest flight attendants, in 1996. She remained a member until 2013, when she resigned from union membership after realizing that her pro-life beliefs did not align with the union’s — yet she was still required to keep paying union fees, even though those fees were being spent on promoting liberal and pro-abortion causes with which Carter disagreed. It wasn’t until 2017 that things got worse.
Carter realized that both the union and its president, Audrey Stone, attended the Women’s March in Washington, D.C., where people protested in favor of abortion. It was then that Carter began to advocate for a change of leadership, speaking out on social media, calling for Stone to be voted out. She also began sending her e-mails about attending the march. “This is what you supported during your paid leave with others at the Women’s March in D.C.,” she wrote in one message, according to the lawsuit. “… You truly are despicable in so many ways.”
Southwest then called Carter into a meeting, in which her social media posts and messages to Stone were presented. Stone had allegedly claimed Carter was harassing her, and Southwest said her posts constituted bullying. Carter was then fired from her job at Southwest.

The more I hear about woke Southwest, the less I am inclined to fly with them. Let them fly the ‘woke,’ since they all care so little for human life. Those who care little for the unborn likely care little for the safety of their passengers, as well. This is how I see it.
Good for her. Now she can afford to fly a better airline.
