A former Hyundai executive at the Montgomery plant files a federal complaint against the automaker and is suing for compensatory and punitive damages, back pay and lost benefits.

In a statement, Robert Burns, vice president of human resources & administration at Hyundai Motors Manufacturing Alabama, said the company “respectfully disagrees with the claims outlined by the former employee. The claims will be vigorously defended with information presented during the litigation process.
Because of this, the suit states, “a white executive thought it amusing to ‘joke’ that her primary role” during team sessions was to ensure the coffee stayed hot. The memo dealt with how the plant could better recognize Pride Month, as well as possible changes to company policy regarding name changes for transgender employees.
Her attorney, Arthur Davis, said she was fired within days of Hyundai’s California corporate office launching an investigation into complaints by some employees about anti-LBGT policies at the plant, and that management in Montgomery believed Gilkey-Shuford supported and encouraged the complaints.
