White ex-Starbucks manager awarded $25 million in discrimination lawsuit.
TL;DR Summary
A federal jury has awarded $25.6 million to a white Starbucks manager who was fired after police arrested two black men at a Philadelphia store she oversaw. The jury found that race was a factor in the manager's termination and awarded her $600,000 in compensatory damages and $25 million in punitive damages for violations to her rights under state and federal anti-discrimination laws. The manager filed a suit against the company in October 2019 after she said she was terminated for refusing to suspend another white employee amid public outrage over the black men's arrest.
