Employment Law Bulletin

A Monthly Report On Labor Law Issues

Volume XXXX, Issue 3

In this issue: This newsletter discusses several important legal developments. The Human Rights Campaign, the country's largest LGBT advocacy group, has been sued in federal court for alleged racial bias against its Black employees. The US Supreme Court will hear a case involving affirmative action policies at Harvard and the University of North Carolina, addressing what the "race plus factor" means and how it should be applied. The US House of Representatives and the Senate have passed bipartisan bills prohibiting enforcement of contract provisions mandating third-party arbitration of workplace sexual harassment or assault claims. The newsletter also explores whether guaranteed income payments will discourage work, as a number of cities and counties experiment with such payments.
