Supreme Court case could spark rush of reverse-discrimination claims
< < Go Back
The Supreme Court will hear arguments Wednesday in a case with potentially sweeping implications for workplace discrimination claims, especially those mirroring the complaint of the petitioner — a female police sergeant in St. Louis who says she was transferred out of a prestigious role because of her gender.
The case, Muldrow v. City of St. Louis, is being closely watched by civil rights groups who argue that valid workplace discrimination claims are often dismissed in court because of a requirement that plaintiffs prove they were harmed by the actions of their employers. The Biden administration is supporting petitioner Jatonya Clayborn Muldrow, because it says Congress never intended to impose such a requirement regarding job transfers.
