American Nurses Association v. Illinois
United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
783 F.2d 716 (7th Cir. 1986)
Relevant factsFree
State employees and nursing associations (plaintiffs) sued Illinois (defendant) for sex discrimination, alleging the state paid predominantly female job classifications less than comparably-valued male classifications, attaching a lengthy comparable-worth study; the district court dismissed under Rule 12(b)(6), reasoning the case was really a "comparable worth" claim, which doesn't by itself violate federal law.
IssueFree
Whether a plaintiff is required to allege in the complaint all of the facts which support his claim in order to avoid a motion to dismiss.
