Sue-sy Sue, I love you….
JTA breaking news: The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the right to sue employers for retaliating against employees bringing bias complaints. Lots of Jewish organizations signed on as friends for this one.
It’s a pretty important ruling, but I wonder how this works together with the inability to bring suit for employment discrimination after 180 days (e.g. you discover after five years, that you, a woman, make less than any of your male co-workers…but can’t sue because your first paycheck is more than 180 days into the past). Just curious, anyone find this kinda odd?
Um… breaking news on JTA is front page nytimes.com already… yesterday.
Has it expired? I figured it was still an important development.
No, very important, i agree. Just the breathless ‘breaking’ part i thought was a bit off… yes, im pedantic.
I work for a Human Rights commission. With us, you can bring a complaint as long as you’re within 180 days of the most recent harm. There’s a question about whether we can enforce back pay for harm which is more than 180 days in the past, but if we find substantial evidence in a case, it is often offered by the employer as a remedy.
Oh, as long as you’re a pedant, it’s okay. I like pedants. I happen to occasionally indulge myself that way too, although I usually stick to grumbling about people who confuse mass and sortal terms.
