Female Applicant Failed To Prove Nondiscriminatory Reasons For Refusing To Hire Her Were Pretextual
In this
case, the United States District Court held that a
foundry was entitled to summary judgment on a Title
VII sex discrimination claim by an unsuccessful female applicant for a position.
The court found that the foundry's proffered reason for refusing to hire her for
that position--her unsuitability based on her removal from that position with
another foundry due to medical limitations and attendance issues--was legitimate
and nondiscriminatory. The applicant failed to meet her burden of showing, under
any established method, that the foundry's proffered reason was pretextual.
