United Way of Tarrant County faces second discrimination lawsuit by a black woman
FORT WORTH -- A former vice president of human resources for the United Way of Tarrant County has filed a federal lawsuit against the nonprofit, claiming race discrimination and retaliation.
Coneisha Sherrod, who was fired on March 3, stated in her lawsuit that the United Way fired her in an email for missing meetings.
But Sherrod, who is black and had worked for the United Way since October 2013, said she was present for all of the meetings she is accused of missing.
She claims she was fired because of her willingness to testify about business mistakes and discriminatory practices that were pervasive within United Way management. Sherrod also said she believes she was fired because she stood up for another black woman who filed — and later settled — an earlier lawsuit against the United Way.
