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

A Texas federal district court denied Premium Velocity Auto’s motion for summary judgment on claims of racial discrimination under 42 U.S.C. § 1981, FMLA interference and retaliation, and workers’ compensation retaliation under the Texas Labor Code brought by a Black store manager who was terminated after his FMLA leave expired, finding genuine disputes of material fact regarding whether the manager told Premium Velocity he could perform his job duties, and whether the employer’s stated reason for termination was pretextual.
