Description
Leanne Gross Pulcino, a former Federal Express flight attendant, sued FedEx alleging unlawful discrimination based on injuries she sustained while working as a FedEx handler and on her union affiliation. Pulcino appeals the trial courts order dismissing her disability discrimination claim and limiting her union discrimination claim to wrongful discharge. Because Pulcino was not disabled as defined by law, the trial court properly dismissed the disability discrimination claim. But we agree with Pulcino that RCW 49.32.020 gives her a cause of action against FedEx for wrongful interference with organized workers, and the court erroneously limited her union discrimination theory to wrongful discharge. Accordingly, we reinstate the union discrimination claim and remand for further proceedings.
