A New Jersey jury has awarded a white former Starbucks employee $25.6 million in damages after finding her race was a “determinative factor” in Starbucks’ decision to terminate her.
a white former Starbucks employee $25.6 million in damages after finding her race was a “determinative factor” in Starbucks’ decision to terminate her. During closing arguments, Shannon Phillips’ attorney alleged Starbucks fired her as a “sacrificial lamb” to appease activists who demanded action following communityincluded federal and state claims.
In her capacity as Regional Director, Phillips “took steps . . . to address strong community reaction” after the arrest and “actively sought to ensure the safety of [Starbucks’] employees and customers.” Phillips collaborated with two Philadelphia-area district managers, Paul Sykes and Ben Trinsey, to respond to the outcry according to the complaint.
According to the complaint, Sykes, a black male employee, faced no disciplinary action despite overseeing the 18th and Spruce Street location where the arrests occurred and having “promoted to the [store manager] position ‘the employee’ responsible for making the call to police that lead to the arrest and the subsequent community reaction.”
