US Supreme Court issued two nice Retaliation-related decisions on May 27, 2008

Here’s a quick summary of these two important pro-employee retaliation-related cases, along with links to the cases:

Oh, by the way, Here’s my general article about “retaliation”, to help you appreciate how important that subject is.

In Gomez-Perez v. Potter, the Court decided, once and for all, that Federal Employees can sue for retaliation for making age discrimination complaints under the ADEA, even though the ADEA does not mention “retaliation” in the section dealing with discrimination against government workers.

Gomez-Perez v Potter.

In CBOCS-West v. Humphries, the Court decided, once and for all, that the most important anti race discrimination law, 42 USC Section 1981, includes protection against retaliation even though Section 1981 does not specifically mention “retaliation”.
