Clive Henry Accuses UPS of Racial Discrimination

Is "Brown" having a problem with a "Black?" That seems to be what Clive Henry, a black Briton, is saying in his discrimination lawsuit against UPS Ltd. Here is a petition his has put up on Facebook. We have reached out to UPS to get a statement and haven't heard back from them yet. We are still sifting through the lawsuit and will update this post shortly.

Clive Henry Vs UPS Ltd - Race Discrimination Case

I worked at UPS Ltd for 11 years, with 100% attendance for seven years. I had NEVER received any disciplinary action before.

In January 2008 I was asked by Manager A to supervise the merge of all the Lynx Courier accounts in our department.

In July 2008 Manager B who was a director at Lynx couriers became my manager.

In October 2008 I was placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) which was never authorised by HR.

I hit the £3000 department monthly target. This was raised to £4000 the next month. I was shouted at and given a written warning on failing this target. I was also given a smudged warning letter. I was signed off with occupational stress because of these events.

The warning was revoked after my appeal but I was advised in writing that I would be placed back on the PIP.

I emailed HR to escalate to the corporate office. I was quickly contacted by HR to arrange an emergency meeting at this point. UPS HR and management were trying to cover this up.

In that meeting I was told to ignore being placed back on the Performance Improvement Plan. At this point I raised a grievance. I again asked for the corporate office details but was given a false HR contact.

The Race Discrimination Tribunal hearing was March 23, 2010. I represented myself as I thought it was an open and closed case. I resigned from UPS on March 11, 2010.

I was the only Black male and the ONLY person EVER to be placed on a PIP.

UPS are an official supporter for the 2012 Olympics and an equal opportunities employer.

I am fighting an appeal after the judge dismissed the case in a perverse way by removing vital information in his biased judgment reasons.

The case is now pending a date at the Court of Appeal in London and has been accepted for investigation by The European Commission for Human Rights in Belgium.
