Dreiband, John L. Quinn, EricSchnapper, Geraldine SumterThis past term, the U.S. Supreme Courtissued three significant retaliationdecisions, two of which broadened thescope of protections under federal statutesand one of which curtailed the rights ofpublic workers to assert retaliation claimsunder the Petition Clause of the FirstAmendment to the U.S. Constitution.In Thompson v. North American Stainless,LP (January 24, 2011), the Supreme Courtheld that an "aggrieved" person under TitleVII includes any person with an interestarguably sought to be protected by thestatute (e.g., the fiance of an employeewho had filed a gender discriminationclaim).In Kasten v. Saint-Gobain PerformancePlastics Corp. (March 22, 2011), theSupreme Court held that even an oralcomplaint that is sufficiently clear anddetailed for a reasonable employer tounderstand it satisfies the FLSA'srequirement that a complaint has been"filed" by an employee assertingretaliation.Lastly, in Borough of Duryea,Pennsylvania v. Guarnieri (June 20, 2011),the Supreme Court held that a publicemployee's protection against retaliationfrom his employer extends only toinstances where the employee haspetitioned the government on a matter ofpublic, not private, concern.In this program, you will hear from aSupreme Court scholar who was involvedin all three cases and from experiencedemployment law practitioners withpractical advice on how these decisionsimpact your clients, whether they areemployers, employees or unions.Item no. : WN11200616Format : CD-ROM (Win)Copyright : 2011________________________________________________________________________________________________________Learning Rendezvous LimitedEmail: inquiry@learningemall.com Websites: http://www.learningemall.com & http://www.learningemall.com.hk118
