Case: Discrimination/Retaliation (E.D. Mich.)

A Michigan federal district court granted summary judgment to Illinois Tool Works on the claims of a female account manager that she faced gender discrimination and was retaliatorily discharged for reporting the discrimination, in violation of state law, ruling that the account manager waived her gender discrimination claim by not adequately addressing it in her complaint, and that there was insufficient evidence showing a causal connection between her protected activity and the discharge.
