Case: Discrimination/Retaliation (S.D. Miss.)

A Mississippi federal district court denied summary judgment to Centene Management Company, LLC on a retaliation claim under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act brought by a contract negotiator who was terminated one month after the company learned of her EEOC charge, finding sufficient evidence to question whether the company’s stated reason for termination—job abandonment—was pretextual, as the plaintiff presented evidence she had been working during the days in question, while granting summary judgment on her race discrimination, disability discrimination, and emotional distress claims.
