Brett Gardner, who worked for years at North Island's Fleet Readiness Center Southwest, claimed a Hispanic manager discriminatorily promoted a Hispanic colleague
A federal jury has rejected the claim of a White civilian engineer who worked for the Navy in Coronado and claimed he was racially discriminated against when his Hispanic supervisor promoted his Hispanic colleague to a supervisory position instead of him.
The case went to trial last week, and on Thursday the seven-person jury deliberated for about an hour before returning a verdict in favor of the Navy.The jury decided Gardner and his attorneys had not proven that his race “was a motivating factor” in the “decision to not promote” him, according to the jury form.
According to court documents in the case, Gardner worked from 2001 to 2020 at the Naval base in Coronado, where he and his colleagues at Fleet Readiness Center Southwest provided support — including overhaul, repair and maintenance — to aircraft from the Navy and Marine Corps. Specifically, Gardner was assigned to a team that worked on F/A-18 Hornet fighter jets.
In his lawsuit, Gardner claimed that “he had plainly superior qualifications ... instead, the position went to a far less qualified Hispanic man.” Gardner claimed that decision was made by a Hispanic supervisor who was part of a “Hispanic Engagement Action Team” in the workplace and “skewed the selection process to favor” the Hispanic candidate.
