Fifth Circuit Issues Precedential Employment Discrimination Opinion in Favor of T-Mobile
3 days ago
Late last week, a three-judge panel sided with T-Mobile and its leave program administrator, Broadspire Services Inc., in a discrimination lawsuit brought by a transgender former employee. The opinion describes how, based on the record, T-Mobile Services USA Inc.’s firing of the plaintiff, Elijah Olivarez, was not discriminatory, but rather “ordinary business practice.”
The court explains that Olivarez was employed as a retail store associate for T-Mobile from approximately December 2015 to April 2018. During 2016, “a supervisor allegedly made demeaning and inappropriate comments about Olivarez’s transgender status,” which Olivarez responded to by filing a complaint with human resources.
