King v. PMI-Eisenhart, LLC, No. 11-3617 (7th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this Case
Plaintiff worked as a manager for defendant, a food broker, from 2001 until she quit in 2007. She sued under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Pay Act, 29 U.S.C. 206(d), claiming that the company maintained a hostile work environment, in which conditions for women were inferior to those for men, and paid women less than men for the same work. The district court granted summary judgment to the company. The Seventh Circuit remanded with respect to claims about salary, holding that the evidence was sufficient for a reasonable jury to find discrimination rather than random assignment of salaries. The court affirmed with respect to hostile environment, noting that the offender responsible for most of the obnoxious conduct had been disciplined and had quit two years before plaintiff left.
