A Connecticut Appellate Court disagreed with a plaintiff who wanted to expand the term "supervisor" to include employees who can't take "tangible employment actions," but who can exert control over the day-to-day conditions of a subordinate's work.

In an employment discrimination case, the plaintiff argued that the term "supervisor," as defined by the U.S. appellate Court, was too narrow under the Connecticut Fair Employment Practices Act, but the state Appellate Court disagreed.
