United States Seventh Circuit

Summary judgment in a discrimination and retaliation case under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act is reversed and remanded where the district court erred in excluding two individuals who manage the restaurant from its tally of employees for purposes of concluding that the restaurant was not an "employer" under the Act because it did not have fifteen employees for the requisite period.
