Parker began working for AirTran Airlines as a ramp agent in September 2008 and became a Southwest Airlines employee in 2013 due to the two airlines merging. He learned about the whites-only break room in 2013.

The lawsuit alleges that white employees made their own break room, called "WB" for "White Break Room," and that Southwest Airlines knew about the white break room. Parker's supervisor was aware of the break room's existence. And the only reason the room no longer exists is because a renovation turned that room into a supervisor office in 2016 or 2017.
