DENVER (AP) -- A former United Airlines ramp supervisor who claimed she was fired because of her gender has been awarded $55,000 by a federal jury in civil rights lawsuit.

Mina Lundien lost her job in 1997 for a safety violation involving the shipping of a box of shotgun shells for the U.S. Olympic team. Lundien had contended that a man in her position would not have been fired. A federal jury in Denver agreed after a five-day trial ended Friday.
