The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal of a former Cargill employee's discrimination and wage-and-hour claims.
The plaintiff, who is gay and Black, alleged racially motivated drug testing, harassment, and retaliation on the basis of race and sexual orientation.
The court found that the plaintiff failed to state a claim under Title VII and that his Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) claims lacked subject matter jurisdiction.
The 5th Circuit also upheld the dismissal of the employee's privacy claim against UKG, stating that the plaintiff did not allege that his personal information was accessed by a third party.
