United States Sixth Circuit

In plaintiff's suit against her former employer and its subsidiary for pregnancy and disability discrimination, district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of defendants is affirmed in part, reversed in part and remanded where: 1) district court erred in granting summary judgment in favor of defendant on plaintiff's transfer claim as a reasonable jury could find that plaintiff's transfer to the tool room constituted an adverse employment action; 2) summary judgment was proper on plaintiff's pregnancy-discrimination claim based on plaintiff's termination; 3) district court erred in granting summary judgment in favor of the defendants on plaintiff's ADA claim to the extent it is based on the tool-room transfer; and 4) district court did not err in granting defendants' motion for summary judgment on plaintiff's disability claim based on her termination as plaintiff has presented no evidence that defendant regarded her as having an impairment that precluded her from working in the tool room.
