A supervisor not being terminated for same conduct is evidence of pretext.

By Gregory A. Placzek

“Nonetheless, the summary judgment evidence also demonstrates that Defendant’s reasons for Plaintiff’s ‘separation’ from Tyson were inconsistent and create a fact issue as to their pretextual nature.  For example, although Defendant relies on the union campaign as a reason for termination, Huske’s immediate supervisor received a write up and reduction in his bonus as a result of the union campaign but appears to still be working at the plant.”

Huske v. Tyson Foods, Inc., 4:12CV583, 2013 WL 5832248 at *6 (E.D. Tex. Oct. 29, 2013) (Bush, J.).
