Supreme Court: Worker’s Protection from Retaliation Extends to Fiancee
Tuesday, January 25th, 2011 LitigationThe Supreme Court ruled Monday that a federal law barring retaliation against a worker for complaints about on-the-job discrimination also protected the employee’s relative from unlawful dismissal. The high court unanimously ruled for Eric Thompson, who was fired from his job at a stainless steel manufacturing plant in Kentucky after his fiancee, who also worked there, filed a discrimination complaint.
