United Airlines will pay $99,000 to settle a federal discrimination case in which an Asian American employee alleged that a supervisor called him an anti-Asian slur, told him to pull up his mask and physically assaulted him. “United is pleased that settling this case will avoid protracted litigation for all parties,” the airline said. In January 2021, Davaabat and a co-worker were finishing their meals in the employee lunchroom when a manager told them to pull their masks up, the EEOC complaint said. “Lucky for you, I’m a good guy,” the manager told Davaabat after slapping him on the back, according to the complaint. Months later, the manager signed a separation agreement that allowed him to “retire in lieu of termination,” the complaint said.
