Identifying Complainant in Publicly-available SEC Filing May Be Retaliation for EEOC Charge: Seventh Circuit | Practical Law
In Greengrass v. International Monetary Systems Ltd., the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit reversed the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of the employer. The Seventh Circuit held that a reasonable jury could find the employer's inclusion of the former employee's name in publicly available Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings to be retaliation under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) for the employee's prior filing of an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) discrimination charge.
