Case: Discrimination/Retaliation (W.D.N.Y.)

A New York federal district court recommends granting General Motors’ motion for summary judgment on a Black female machine repair journeywoman’s retaliation claim under state law, finding that while she established a prima facie case that her two-week suspension in August was retaliation for filing an EEOC complaint in March, she failed to show that GM’s legitimate reason for the suspension—a safety violation and abusive language toward a supervisor—was pretextual or motivated by retaliatory animus.
