From Union Arbitration to Discrimination Rulings:
The Latest on Employment Law From the U.S. Supreme Court

In just 60 minutes, attorneys experienced in employment law trial and practice issues will answer questions recently raised by employment law rulings handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court during the 2008-09 term:

• Retaliation: Does Title VII’s anti-retaliation provision extend to an employee who speaks out about discrimination in answering questions during an employer’s internal investigation?
• Discrimination: Did an employer violate the Pregnancy Discrimination Act when it paid pension benefits according to an accrual rule that gave less retirement credit for pregnancy leave than for medical leave generally?
• ERISA: Did an ERISA plan administrator properly disregard a provision in a divorce decree which conflicted with the designation made by a former husband in accordance with plan documents?
• Unions:
  - Is a provision in a collective bargaining agreement that requires union members to arbitrate claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) enforceable?
  - May a local union charge non-members for national litigation expenses?
  - Did a state ban on political payroll deductions, as applied to local governmental units, infringe on unions’ First Amendment rights?
• In the closing days of its term, the court will decide:
  - Reverse discrimination: Can an employment action meant to prevent minorities from being denied promotions itself be discriminatory?
  - Age discrimination: Is a plaintiff required to present direct evidence of discrimination in order to obtain a mixed-motive instruction in a non-Title VII discrimination case?
