Case: Discrimination/National Origin (S.D. Ohio)

An Ohio federal district court granted summary judgment to PSA Airlines, Inc. on race and national origin discrimination claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 brought by a Black Rwandan airplane mechanic who was terminated after an emergency airplane incident, finding that he failed to establish a prima facie case because he couldn’t show he was similarly situated to any non-protected PSA employees who received better treatment following his failure to use a maintenance manual.
