United to pay $3 million to former employee.

The AP (4/27) reports, "A federal court jury in Denver has awarded $3 million to a former United Airlines employee after finding the company retaliated against her for complaining about discrimination." The employee alleged that when she needed to take unpaid leave she was denied and when she didn't show up to work, she was fired. However, she said that "United often approved requests for unpaid leave from male ramp supervisors."
