AKMC contended Ms. Wildi was let go when her position was eliminated and that she was not discriminated against. Ms. Wildi testified in court that she earned less than the other vice presidents, all of whom were men, and that she complained about the discrepancy three times in 2007. She asked for an increase to better reflect the pay rates of vice presidents with similar descriptions.

Ms. Wildi is seeking to recover pay, profit-sharing and pension benefits she would have received if she had not been fired from AKMC, as well as punitive damages.
