Won Summary Judgment in Favor of a Health Care Provider After the Plaintiff Alleged FLSA and ERISA Retaliation Claims

Amundsen Davis was granted summary judgment in favor of a health care provider after the plaintiff, a former employee, alleged FLSA and ERISA retaliation claims. The plaintiff claimed that her employer reassigned her territory, refused her a new uniform and terminated her employment in retaliation for being a named plaintiff in two different class actions years prior. The Northern District of Illinois granted summary judgment, finding that the plaintiff did not establish that her employer acted with retaliatory animus and instead made decisions regarding the plaintiff’s employment for lawful, legitimate reasons.
