Gallagher grants Southwest’s motion to dismiss this employment dispute brought by a former employee alleging breach of contract, hostile work environment, disability and race discrimination, failure to accommodate and violations of the Maryland Healthy Working Families Act. The employee alleges she was terminated for giving a coworker her username and password, as a supervisor suggested, and calling in sick from jail. Southwest alleges the breach of contract claim is preempted by the Railway Labor Act for disputes between rail and airline workers of a collective bargaining agreement. The employee fails to state a plausible claim to her hostile work environment, disability and race discrimination, failure to accommodate and the Maryland law. Therefore, all claims are dismissed without prejudice, except the breach of contract and it is dismissed with prejudice.
