Pratt v. Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry

Plaintiff filed a lawsuit against her former employer alleging sex discrimination, pay discrimination, and retaliation after she reported claims of discrimination and harassment at her place of employment. The employer said it fired plaintiff because of poor performance and a lack of trust as well as confidentiality issues. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendant on all claims and plaintiff appealed. The Seventh Circuit reversed in part, finding that plaintiff presented sufficient evidence of sex discrimination and retaliation such that a reasonable jury could find in her favor but affirming dismissal of the pay discrimination claim. (HAMILTON, concurring and KIRSCH, concurring in part and dissenting in part)
