7th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Jennifer Sloan v. American Brain Tumor Association

Case No.: 18-1103

Officials: EASTERBROOK, SYKES, and BARRETT, Circuit Judges.

Focus: FLSA Violation

Jennifer Sloan sued her former employer, the American Brain Tumor Association (“the Association”), for unlawful retaliation in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA” or “the Act”), 29 U.S.C. §§ 201 et seq. The district judge dismissed the complaint and we affirm. Sloan’s allegations, even generously construed, do not remotely support a claim that the Association retaliated against her for asserting rights protected by the Act.
