Case: Discrimination/Disparate Treatment (N.D. Miss.)

A Mississippi federal district court granted summary judgment to MMC Materials on a racial discrimination claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1981 brought by a Black truck driver who alleged he was wrongfully demoted when removed from a dispatcher position, finding the truck driver failed to establish a prima facie case of discrimination because he was treated identically to two white employees who were also removed from dispatcher positions and offered to return to truck driving.
