Outcome

The Seventh Circuit affirmed summary judgment for AutoZone, holding that a lateral transfer with no reduction in pay, benefits, or job responsibilities did not constitute an adverse employment action under Title VII § 2000e-2(a)(2), and rejecting the EEOC's argument that intentional segregation alone violates the statute without proof of adverse impact.
