United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided January 8, 1980.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Joel M. Cohn, E.E.O.C., Washington, D.C., for plaintiff-appellant.

Patricia M. Heim, La Crosse, Wis., for defendant-appellee.

Before FAIRCHILD, Chief Judge, CASTLE, Senior Circuit Judge, and SPRECHER, Circuit Judge.


SPRECHER, Circuit Judge.

The issue presented by this appeal is whether the opposition by an employee to what he or she reasonably believes to be an unlawful employment practice is protected against retaliatory discharge by the employer under § 704(a) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-3(a). The district court held that it was not protected and entered a summary judgment in favor of the employer-defendant. We reverse.
