Book excerpt: It is no secret that since the 1980s, American workers have lost power vis-à-vis employers through the well-chronicled steep decline in private sector unionization. American workers have also lost power in other ways. Those alleging employment discrimination have fared increasingly poorly in the courts. In recent years, judges have dismissed scores of cases in which workers presented evidence that supervisors referred to them using racial or gender slurs. In one federal district court, judges dismissed more than 80 percent of the race discrimination cases filed over a year. And when juries return verdicts in favor of employees, judges often second guess those verdicts, finding ways to nullify the jury's verdict and rule in favor of the employer. Most Americans assume that that an employee alleging workplace discrimination faces the same legal system as other litigants. After all, we do not usually think that legal rules vary depending upon the type of claim brought. The employment law scholars Sandra A. Sperino and Suja A. Thomas show in Unequal that our assumptions are wrong. Over the course of the last half century, employment discrimination claims have come to operate in a fundamentally different legal system than other claims. It is in many respects a parallel universe, one in which the legal system systematically favors employers over employees. A host of procedural, evidentiary, and substantive mechanisms serve as barriers for employees, making it extremely difficult for them to access the courts. Moreover, these mechanisms make it fairly easy for judges to dismiss a case prior to trial. Americans are unaware of how the system operates partly because they think that race and gender discrimination are in the process of fading away. But such discrimination still happens in the workplace, and workers now have little recourse to fight it legally. By tracing the modern history of employment discrimination, Sperino and Thomas provide an authoritative account of how our legal system evolved into an institution that is inherently biased against workers making rights claims.

Book excerpt: This manual is a must-read collection of valuable authorities for plaintiffs, defendants and government enforcement officials. Author has set forth in a concise, user-friendly manner, the proof required at each stage of the ADA liability case. He has organized by topic the position of the EEOC and the courts on key issues. His presentation on EEOC positions, from amicus briefs and Commission decisions which most readers would be unlikely to find, is unique. So, too, is his compilation of scores of court decisions which are not officially published but are citable both in court and agency proceedings. Employers who submit position statements to the EEOC and state agencies would be well-advised to use this book as a guide throughout the administrative process. It provides a framework for analyzing the ADA charge, determining what factual information to collect for a defense, and evaluating the appropriateness of an early settlement before the other side is educated about the weaknesses in the employer's case. The text helps the employer articulate the reasons it is entitled to prevail based upon the statute, regulations, other EEOC publications, or court decisions. And, it gives the employer ammunition to rebut the relevance of the EEOC's request for information and to contest the EEOC's counter arguments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some Tips to Prevent Employment Discrimination Lawsuits teaches employers a faith-based (Judeo-Christian) strategy to help increase productivity and reduce litigation. Filled with excellent, innovative practical tips, the book teaches employers how to prevent race discrimination, gender discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, disability discrimination, sexual orientation discrimination, genetics discrimination, and sexual harassment in the workplace; how to reduce the number of, and dollar amount of, discrimination lawsuits brought by employees against employers; and how to reduce legal expenses in these lawsuits. In addition to legal tips and practical tips, Robinson includes some biblical passages he thinks can, if employers keep them in mind, help employers achieve these goals. Robinson addresses many difficult questions: Should employers be race-conscious and gender-conscious when hiring and managing employees, or race-blind and gender-blind? Should employers be more lenient with aging and disabled employees than with other employees, or treat everyone the same? Do laws that protect gays from discrimination in the workplace conflict with, or comply with, biblical teachings? And many other important questions on the minds of managers today.

Book excerpt: The true story of Lois Jenson, a petite single mother, who was among the first women hired by a northern Minnesota iron mine in 1975. In this brutal workplace, female miners were relentlessly threatened with pornographic graffiti, denigrating language, stalking, and physical assaults. Terrified of losing their jobs, the women kept their problems largely to themselves—until Lois, devastated by the abuse, found the courage to file a complaint against the company in 1984. Despite all of the obstacles the legal system threw at them, Lois and her fellow plaintiffs enlisted the aid of a dedicated team of lawyers and ultimately prevailed. Weaving personal stories with legal drama, Class Action shows how these terrifically brave women made history, although not without enormous personal cost. Told at a thriller’s pace, this is the story of how one woman pioneered and won the first sexual harassment class action suit in the United States, a legal milestone that immeasurably improved working conditions for American women.
