Case: Discrimination/Promotion (N.D. Ill.)

An Illinois federal court denied summary judgment to the Department of Veterans Affairs on the claims of a Black human resources employee over 40 years old that she was denied promotions due to her race and age, and in retaliation for her EEO activities, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, stating that she provided evidence of race and age discrimination, and the proffered reasons for the failure to promote were pretext for retaliation.
