Claim Of Wrongful Transfer Survived Summary Judgment
In this
case, a suit by a medical technologist against the
Veterans' Administration, claiming that she was forced to transfer to another
hospital, adding two hours to her commute, survived summary judgment. The court
found fact issues as to whether her transfer was gender discrimination, in
violation of Title VII, as she was moved out of the hospital following an
altercation with a male employee, and he was allowed to remain. There were also
fact issues as to whether the hospital violated her due process rights, by
transferring her and reducing her work responsibilities without following its
prescribed procedures.
