Case: Discrimination/Hostile Work Environment (N.D. Ind.)

An Indiana federal district court granted summary judgment to Northern Indiana Public Service Company on hostile work environment and retaliation claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and 42 U.S.C. § 1981 brought by a Black female gas meterman, finding that the racially offensive comments by a coworker were not severe or pervasive enough to create a hostile work environment, the employer took prompt corrective action, and the plaintiff did not suffer an adverse employment action to support her retaliation claim.
