Case: Discrimination/Race Discrimination (N.D. Tex.)

A Texas federal district court granted summary judgment to Lhoist North America of Texas, LLC on race discrimination and retaliation claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1981 brought by a Black lime process operator, finding that he failed to establish a prima facie case by not showing comparable employees with similar violation histories were treated more favorably, and failed to show the employer’s legitimate reasons for termination based on progressive discipline for workplace incidents—including unsafe driving—were pretextual.
