The Tenth Circuit reinstated a disability discrimination act case Monday over a healthcare provider's decision to make an employee undergo company-sponsored mental health counseling, finding that mandate might meet the U.S. Supreme Court's new standard for what constitutes an adverse employment action.
An Ohio police officer who said he was targeted for harsher discipline because of his age secured a second chance to win his discrimination and retaliation lawsuit after the Sixth Circuit found his evidence might convince a jury.
Several Catholic groups said they will ask the Fifth Circuit to consider whether a lower court safeguarded their religious rights in a ruling finding the EEOC's Pregnant Workers Fairness Act regulations can't mandate accommodations for elective abortions, and the commission settled one of its first PWFA lawsuits for $55,000. Here, Law360 looks at notable EEOC litigation developments from the past week.
