Abstract:
|
In late 1990s and early 2000s, FedEx Corporation faced allegations of

A case filed by the

company.
The case focuses on the charges of racial discrimination
against FedEx Corporation. It elaborates the treatment meted out to
minority employees in the company and discusses few cases filed by the
employees of FedEx Corporation against the company's discriminatory
practices.
