J. Chuang denies a dental clinic its motion for partial dismissal that a dentist’s claims that the clinic’s counterclaims of breach of contract and misappropriation of trade secrets represents unlawful retaliation. The dentist, a biracial man who identifies as Black and Muslim, originally alleged breach of contract, unpaid wages, discrimination and retaliation. The clinic claims in response that the dentist did not give them any warning that he intended to run for political office, was late to client appointments, damaged company computers and engaged in sexual activities on the job. The dentist denies these and the clinic has not sufficiently argued them. The clinic allegedly never addressed these issues before firing the dentist, suggesting retaliatory behavior.

The employee sufficiently alleged that the co-worker, who was not fired, received more favorable treatment from the employer. However, the motion to dismiss is granted as to the employee's state law claims for discrimination.

J. Kennelly denies a group of Black former Chicago city workers’ motion to certify a class. The workers, all formerly employees of the City of Chicago Department of Water Management, claim they were subject to the department’s widespread culture of racism and sexism. However, the court opines that the workers’ allegations and reported individual experiences are too diverse to qualify as a coherent class with claims in common. The court similarly finds that the workers have not shown that their employers acted in an organized way to mete out racist treatment.

An enforceable arbitration agreement exists between the parties as part of the collective bargaining agreement, therefore the court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over all of the employee's claims, and the entire action must be dismissed. The parties shall submit the claims to arbitration.

J. Bredar grants a manufacturing firm summary judgment following allegations of employment discrimination brought by a machinist who is Black. While the machinist cites being disciplined despite having satisfactory job performance, he reportedly consistently took unauthorized smoke and phone breaks and threatened to “whoop [supervisor’s] ass” upon receiving a written conduct warning. The machinist has failed to state a claim showing discriminatory discipline unrelated to his poor conduct, and he then quit.
