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

A Michigan federal court denied summary judgment to Blue Ribbon Restaurants on the claims of a Black call center specialist that she faced a racially hostile work environment and retaliation for complaining, in violation of Section 1981, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and state law, ruling that there was sufficient evidence that she was treated worse than her similarly situated white coworkers, and that there was a causal connection between her protected activities and her discharge.
