In a recent court filing, Cesar D. Mercado has initiated a lawsuit against United Airlines, Inc., alleging race and national origin discrimination and retaliation under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Mercado, who served the airline for nearly 25 years, claims that he faced discriminatory treatment and was constructively terminated due to his Hispanic background. The complaint outlines a series of incidents, including wrongful write-ups and lack of language support during an investigation into alleged timeclock fraud. Mercado seeks economic and non-economic damages, as well as punitive damages and attorney’s fees.
