Helen J.M. Bassett v. City of Minneapolis

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that a temporal link between protected activity and an adverse employment action may, in some cases, be sufficient to create an inference of retaliation
• holding that the temporal proximity between an employee's discrimination complaints and the employer's adverse action justified an inference of retaliation and presented a genuine issue of material fact precluding summary judgment
• holding that excessive pattern of protected activity followed by disciplinary measures established causation
• explaining that temporal proximity alone may establish causation where the time lapse between the protected activity and the adverse employment action was two months or fewer
• determining that less than two months between charge and adverse action combined with pattern of increasing levels of discipline immediately following claims of discrimination sufficient to create causal connection
• noting “a series of retaliatory conduct falling short of discharge or termination can, as a matter of law, constitute an adverse action”
