Despite maintaining a select docket, the U.S. Supreme Court has granted certiorari on a surprisingly large number of employment- related cases this term. With multiple retaliation, Age Discrimination in Employment Act and ERISA decisions on the horizon, employment lawyers are keeping a close eye on the Court's happenings.
In Wexler v. White's Fine Furniture, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals clarifies and qualifies the proper analysis of Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). The following rules applicable in ADEA cases include: the "same-actor" inference does not sufficiently support summary judgment for the employer when the employee raises "a genuine issue of material fact" and as in race or sex discrimination cases, the "same-group" inference is inapplicable in age discrimination cases.

After being taken on a turbulent roller-coaster ride by the Supreme Court in the last few sessions, businesses in the Pacific Northwest and across the country are casting a wary eye on Washington D.C. The latest session kicked off last month. But employers can breathe a sigh of relief, at least for now. The Supreme Court has declined to review any blockbuster cases so far this term, and companies may be spared any sweeping changes. However, this reprieve may only be temporary, because the high court could choose to review any number of high-profile cases that have thus far eluded its docket.
