Oakland, CA Historically, federal courts have
been reluctant to interpret Title VII
as protecting claims based on sexual
orientation discrimination. Relying on
longstanding Supreme Court precedent,
however, the EEOC recently has argued
for robust safeguards for workers of
all sexual orientations under the sex
discrimination prohibitions in Title VII.
And the Seventh Circuit en banc has ruled
that Title VII prohibits sexual orientation
discrimination. What does the future hold
for sexual orientation discrimination
claims in the workplace? What effect,
if any, will the legal developments for
transgender workers have on this issue?
This panel will focus on the dynamic legal
landscape relating to sexual orientation
discrimination, with special attention to
recent court rulings, updates to EEOC
guidance, and trends with in-house counsel. | | MP3 | | $18.00 | | $18.00 | |
