Report Link Recent Employment-Discrimination Jury Verdicts.Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP - November 30, 2009 Below are summaries of three recent employment-discrimination cases involving multi-million-dollar awards for the plaintiff-employee. Don’t shoot the messenger. Report Link $1 Million Jury Award Upheld for Violation of the Family and Medical Leave Act (pdf).Phelps Dunbar LLP - July 28, 2006 In Lubke v. Arlington, 2006 WL 1793268 (5th Cir),
a city fire fighter, Kim Lubke (“Lubke”), sued the City
of Arlington, Texas (“Arlington”) alleging that he was
discharged in violation of the Family and Medical Leave
Act (“FMLA”) as a result of missing work to care for his
ill wife. Lubke was a twenty-two year veteran of
Arlington’s fire department, and was a Battalion Chief
in charge of eight fire stations and forty to fifty
employees. Report Link Recent Ruling Addresses Enforceability Of Settlement Agreements (pdf).Ogletree Deakins - May 10, 2006 A thorny problem in settling employment
cases often arises when an employee
has a change of heart after accepting
a settlement offer and either refuses
to sign a written agreement or attempts
to set aside the agreement by
claiming that it was a mistake, was
based on bad advice from his or her
counsel, or was never authorized. A
recent federal appellate court decision
demonstrates that the employee has a
very heavy burden of proof in such situations,
and employers usually will be
able to hold the employee to the agreement. Report Link Merrill Lynch Settlement of FLSA Collective Action Draws Scrutiny of Broker Compensation Arrangements.Jackson Lewis LLP - August 24, 2005 In a case with significant consequences to the financial industry, Merrill Lynch has agreed to pay up to $37 million to approximately 3,250 of its California stock brokers to settle claims that it failed to pay overtime wages. The settlement may spur interest in overtime pay claims under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and perhaps state wage and hour laws by other stock brokers, as well as inside salespersons in other segments of the financial industry. Report Link Dade County Jury Awards $1.5 Million to Sexual Harassment Plaintiff .Jackson Lewis LLP - January 14, 2005 A Florida District Court of Appeals recently reinstated a verdict of $1,516,000 as damages for sexual harassment based on a hostile work environment and retaliatory discharge.
