The U.S. Supreme Court’s generous standard for permitting retaliation allegations to go forward in employment discrimination claims has helped spare part of a woman’s case from dismissal.

Matricia Moore’s allegation that she suffered adverse employment actions and was ultimately terminated by Consolidated Edison Co. easily survived summary judgment under the standard set forth last year in Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Ry. Co. v. White, 126 S.Ct. 2405 (2006).
