Case: Discrimination/Race Discrimination (D.R.I.)

A terminated Black business development manager for Balise Toyota of Warwick can proceed on her Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and state law race discrimination and retaliation claims because evidence she produced of disparate treatment compared to White coworkers exhibiting similar conduct, the lack of evidence justifying her discharge, and possible causality between her discrimination complaints and her firing create material factual disputes, a Rhode Island federal district court ruled.
