Murphy v. Caterpillar, Inc.

Plaintiff alleged that his former employer constructively discharged him based on his age and his prior assertions of his rights in violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendant and plaintiff appealed. The Seventh Circuit reversed the dismissal of plaintiff’s age discrimination claim but affirmed dismissal of the retaliation claim finding that the plaintiff presented sufficient evidence for a reasonable jury to find constructive discharge.
