Southwest Airlines $18.5M Military Leave Settlement

Southwest Airlines settled a class action for $18.5 million over claims it failed to properly pay employees for short-term military leave. The case covered current and former employees who took military leave of 14 days or fewer between October 10, 2004 and January 1, 2026, while covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Payment was automatic, so no claim form was required for most class members, and the case is now closed.
