A black delivery driver employed by a provider for FedEx was fired for posting a confrontation with a white homeowner on social media, according to NewsOne.
The driver, Antonio Braswell, said he and a co-worker were delivering packages for FedEx in Leesburg, Ga when a white man started to curse and threaten the two workers after they delivered a package.
Allie Addoms, a FedEx spokesperson, told Business Insider that the two men were employed by an independent service provider and said FedEx was investigating the video.
FedEx added that the two black delivery drivers had since been given employment at the company while the investigation continued.
“FedEx takes extremely seriously any allegations of discrimination, retaliation, or improper employment actions,” the company said in a statement.
