Major company's memo illustrates blatant race discrimination
As many employers and workers in Minnesota know, promoting awareness and compassion among all employees is an important step to guaranteeing a discrimination-free work environment. However, efforts to create a productive and healthy workplace can only be truly effective if they are sincere and unbiased. If not, the very steps intended to encourage neutrality may actually reinforce prejudice. Unfortunately, some employees of a leading retailer may have been singled out by misguided efforts to inhibit race discrimination.

State Supreme Court agrees to rehear gender discrimination case
Defining what actually constitutes illegal mistreatment in the workplace can be very difficult in some instances. In Minnesota and other states around the country, employers typically have a certain degree of freedom to make employment decisions at their own discretion. And given that many workplace environments place employers and staff in close proximity to one another, it is not uncommon for issues to arise between boss and employee. One gender discrimination lawsuit is testing the legal system, as the highest court in one state is reconsidering its previous ruling on the issue and fueling controversy in the process.

Workplace discrimination rulings set disappointing precedence
Acts of mistreatment play out in workplaces across the state of Minnesota and around the country every day. Employees often know that they have encountered inappropriate behavior when it happens, but sometimes it can be difficult to say whether or not that behavior is actually illegal. In the event that a lower court’s workplace discrimination ruling is contested, the U.S. Supreme Court decides on how employment law and discrimination legislation should be interpreted. Two recent rulings made by the country’s highest court may affect future cases around the country and leave some victims with little legal recourse.
