191004P.pdf   06/29/2020  Cedric Williams  v.  United Parcel Service, Inc.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-1004
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, with Erickson and Melloy, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Employment discrimination. With respect to plaintiff's claims 
   that UPS retaliated against him by demoting him for protected activity, he 
   conceded that neither of the decision-makers were aware of the activities 
   and there was, therefore, no causal link between the activities and the 
   demotion; with respect to plaintiff's race discrimination claim, the claim 
   would be analyzed under the McDonnell Douglas framework and failed at the 
   third step, because UPS provided a legitimate, non-discriminatory basis 
   for the action, which plaintiff failed to show was a pretext for 
   discrimination.
