Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit June 26, 1997, 96-3459 (Lora S. Ilhardt v. Sara Lee Corporation, a Maryland Corporation)

HARLINGTON WOOD, Jr., Circuit Judge.

In June of 1994, Sara Lee Corporation implemented a corporation-wide reduction-in-force (RIF) affecting personnel from every department. At that time, Lora Ilhardt, an in-house attorney, differed from her law department colleagues in only two respects: she worked part-time and she was pregnant.
