‘Disgusting Conduct’: DHL Express Must Pay $8.7M for Allegedly Segregating Workers, Allowing White Employee to Stay on the Job After Attack on Black Colleague

By A.L. Lee | Published on: May 1, 2024 | Updated on May 3, 2024

The Chicago Teamsters union has agreed to accept an $8.7 million settlement in a racial discrimination lawsuit filed 14 years ago against the global shipping company DHL Express, exposing racist practices reminiscent of the Jim Crow era.

The Teamsters announced the settlement in a statement on April 24.

The federal legal action, brought with the help of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in September 2010, claimed DHL singled out Black Teamsters in Chicago by giving them worse job assignments compared to white employees.

The suit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, alleged that drivers and dockworkers with Teamsters Local 705 were assigned their job roles at DHL based on race, which violated the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

4. DHL had all the justice they could afford. They count on people dropping out of the suit or dying or moving ...

... somewhere else, or getting tired and settling for less. I'd be hard to convince that the Teamsters didn't cooperate with DHL to begin with.

DHL was soliey owned by the German government, and though they are privatizing it, the State still owns a large part of it.
