Defense Jury Verdict in Civil Rights Lawsuit: Discrimination and Retaliation Claims Cleared Against Nissan On October 13, 2023, OnSite Fleet, LLC filed a civil rights lawsuit against Nissan North America, alleging discrimination and retaliation against its employees. The lawsuit stemmed from Nissan's actions in 2021, when it revoked access to several OnSite employees—McGlory, Mullins, Battle, and Edmondson—based on unfounded complaints and later terminated the Corporate Vehicle Lease Program (CV Program), resulting in the employees' layoffs. OnSite claimed Nissan's actions were racially motivated and retaliatory, causing significant financial damages and loss of business. The lawsuit included claims of discrimination under Section 1981, breach of contract, and tortious interference with employment relationships. Nissan denied the allegations, asserting that its decisions were based on legitimate business reasons and not racial discrimination. It argued that OnSite had breached the Professional Services Agreement and raised several defenses, including a counterclaim for damages due to OnSite’s alleged contract violations. After a trial, on January 22, 2025, the jury ruled in favor of Nissan, finding no evidence of unlawful retaliation or breach of contract by the company. OnSite failed to prove that Nissan’s actions caused harm, and Nissan also did not prove that OnSite’s actions harmed the company. Winning Counsel: Brigid M.Carpenter | Nelson Suarez | Charles K.
