Description
Kathy Higgins appeals from an order denying her motion for a new trial on her hostile work environment claim, and from an order denying her motion for the trial court to reconsider its grant of partial summary judgment in favor of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) on her retaliation and constructive discharge claims. Higgins contends that the jurys verdict that KFC took appropriate corrective action regarding her hostile work environment claim was contrary to the weight of the evidence, and the trial court therefore erred in denying her motion for a new trial. However, because Higgins has failed to include the trial transcript in the record, we have no way to determine whether the jurys verdict was contrary to the weight of the evidence. Therefore, we must conclude that there was adequate evidence to support the jurys findings. Higgins next asserts that the trial court erred in granting partial summary judgment in favor of KFC on whether she was retaliated against and constructively discharged for objecting to the hostile work environment and for filing a complaint with the State of Wisconsins Equal Rights Division (ERD). We are satisfied that Higgins has not established that she suffered a materially adverse employment action, nor has she established that she was constructively discharged. Accordingly, we affirm.
