The Fifth Circuit, in a ruling likely to shape future discrimination cases, broke with long-standing precedent, expanding the framework under which Title VII claims can be brought to include “terms, conditions, or privileges” of employment that may disparately impact certain employees. Background and key takeaways: https://lnkd.in/dFD2Yeim. Authors: Fred Gaona, Thomas Allen, Sarah Smith “Presumably, any discriminatory conduct related to an employee’s schedule, job duties, performance evaluations, or warnings—or even unofficial perks of employment—could be subject to a Title VII discrimination lawsuit,” our labor and employment team noted, following the Fifth Circuit's decision. “Employers should therefore be prepared to defend themselves under this new, arguably more employee-friendly standard." #titlevii #employmentlaw #humanresources #civilrights #laborandemployment

Just a few days ago, the US Supreme Court issued an important employment discrimination case. The case, Muldrow v. City of St. Louis, significantly lowers the bar to bring a case of Title VII employment discrimination for plaintiffs. In this case, a police officer alleged that she was transferred to a less prestigious assignment on the basis of her gender. She suffered no loss of rank, pay, or promotion potential, but rather lost the intangible sense of prestige that accompanied her prior position within the organization. The lower courts ruled that the plaintiff did not meet the standard of showing a "significant" adverse impact. A bipartisan Supreme Court unanimously (though Justice Kagan's opinion drew three separate concurrences from her conservative colleagues) held that a plaintiff need only show "some harm" with respect to an identifiable term or condition of employment, and that the harm need not be "significant." Implicit in this ruling is the holding that intangible loss of prestige constitutes "harm" for the purposes of Title VII. This case will open the courthouse doors for many plaintiffs whose claims were previously barred. Like last year's major religious discrimination ruling, Groff v. DeJoy, it shows that one of the few areas that both ideological wings of the Court can agree on is expanding employment discrimination protections for traditionally-protected categories. https://lnkd.in/ednH_a_K

Earlier this month, the new general counsel of the EEOC noted that the agency is paying close attention to workplace discrimination based on religion, race, and national origin driven by the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. If there have been incidents in your workplace, it's critical to address them promptly and effectively to minimize liability and any adverse impact on your employees and business. Consult an employment attorney for guidance on what steps to take. https://ow.ly/bjCG50Quax3 #discrimination #employmentdiscrimination #employmentpolicies #harassment

The US Govt. is getting far more aggressive in its oversite of the workplace - and ability to fine and punish businesses. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed 50% more new lawsuits during fiscal year 2023 compared to 2022. The EEOC also recovered a record $665 million from businesses in the most recent fiscal year. The agency received 81,055 new discrimination charges in FY 2023, 10% more than than the year before, and added 493 new staff — mostly investigators, investigative support assistants, mediators and attorneys to help handle that load. https://lnkd.in/gq6kzJ4T
