Executive Summary

A single-plaintiff FEHA/CFRA employment discrimination lawsuit against United Airlines was dismissed on summary judgment. The court ruled that United had a legitimate, non-discriminatory reason (the collective bargaining agreement's medical leave cap) for terminating the plaintiff, and the plaintiff failed to provide evidence of discriminatory motive. This individual case had no material financial exposure and no precedential risk for United.
