HOUSTON — A former United Airlines employee claims she suffers from PTSD after she and her coworkers were trapped in the company's building during Hurricane Harvey.
Emma Coleman filed a complaint March 11 in the Harris County District Court against United Airlines alleging violation of the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act.
Coleman alleges in her complaint that she suffers from PTSD after United Airlines closed their building in Houston during Hurricane Harvey causing her and her coworkers to be trapped for three days with little food. Coleman also alleges after being released from the building and driving to her home, she had to be rescued when her car reached flood waters. She claims in August of 2018, she began to face harassment, suspension and was blocked from unemployment benefits for filing a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Coleman seeks monetary relief, trial by jury and all other just relief. She is represented by Larry. Watts of Watts & Company Lawyers LTD in Missouri City.
