No More Discrimination Lawsuits? Supreme Court May Make It Easier to Retaliate [USA]

The...Supreme Court...has agreed to hear an employment race-discrimination and retaliation case against CBOCS West [part of CBRL Group], which owns Cracker Barrel. CBOCS West v. Humphries considers whether employment laws that prevent race discrimination also prevent retaliation against those who complain of it. Should the Supreme Court side with CBOCS West, it would become easier for companies to retaliate against workers who file discrimination lawsuits. This would discourage many from disclosing illegal discriminatory practices.
