Also, Labor and Employment Law Handbook has been updated to include
coverage of:
-
The Ninth Circuit Court's decision in Witt v. Department of the Air Force to
reinstate a former Air Force Major's lawsuit that challenged her discharge
based on her sexual orientation, the court holding the lower court erred in
applying a national basis of review of her case, rather than a heightened
level of scrutiny, in that the federal government may only intrude upon the
personal and private lives of homosexuals to advance an important government
interest.
-
The Fifth Circuit Court's holding in Taylor v. UPS that the statute of
limitations under Title VII is tolled during pending class action proceedings
regarding such claims under the Act.
-
The Seventh Circuit Court's finding in Amrheim v. Health Care Service Corp.
that the proximity of time between an employee's threat to file a
discrimination charge and her later discharge was too remote and speculative
to support her retaliatory claim.
-
The Third Circuit Court's decision in McGovern v. Philadelphia that Section
1981 does not provide an employee a right of action against a public employer.
-
The Eighth Circuit Court's ruling to uphold a liquidated damages award to
employees who worked overtime when combining work hours at two restaurants
with common ownership.
