FedEx Offers Employment To Two 3rd Party Drivers Who Filmed Racist Customer
FedEx is now offering employment to the two 3rd party drivers who were fired after filming and posting a now-viral dispute with a racist customer. On Wednesday (May 20), one of the drivers, Antonio Braswell, posted a video of a confrontation with a white, belligerent customer in Georgia.
In the video, one of the drivers is seen arguing with the man, who’s recording him, while waiting for the police to arrive. While captioning the post, Braswell shares, “FedEx called and told me to take down this video and fired both us today. I’m reposting this video because people like him doesn’t matter white or any race should never disrespect essential workers putting their lives in jeopardy especially with this COVID-19.”
