American Airlines to settle $139 million legal fee dispute after $1 verdict https://t.co/fihK5LhUmY https://t.co/W3ezYNlZAw
American Airlines has reached a tentative settlement with flight booking company Sabre to resolve a dispute over more than $139 million in legal fees. This settlement comes after the airline won only $1 in damages at a 2022 trial. In a separate legal matter, a federal judge has significantly reduced a jury's award against UPS from $237.6 million to $39.6 million. The case involved a Black former driver, Tahvio Gratton, who accused UPS of workplace bias and wrongful termination. The judge, US District Judge Thomas Rice, accepted UPS's argument that the original punitive damages award of $198 million was unreasonable, leading to the reduction.
