Employment – Retaliation

Employment – Retaliation
Where an employee was terminated the day after his supervisor learned he had filed a complaint with the EEOC, summary judgment was improperly granted to the employer on the employee’s retaliation claim.
“Ledbetter claims that when he was summoned to meet with Anderson on the 20th, Anderson, who of course had learned the previous day that Ledbetter had filed a second charge with the EEOC, before firing him asked him whether he had indeed filed a second charge and he acknowledged that he had. The implication is that if Ledbetter had said ‘no,’ Anderson would have held off firing him until he could verify the truth of the denial. If this is correct, then the firing of Ledbetter was indeed retaliatory.
Reversed and Remanded.
