On Friday, a federal judge dismissed the EPA claim, concluding that the Federation did not pay the WNT less than the MNT because of their gender.
Indeed, the WNT was paid more than the MNT! Continue reading

Part Three: A much bigger FFCRA lawsuit (not exactly what employers expected).
Image by Clker-Free-Vector-Images from Pixabay
Yesterday, in part two of the “types of COVID-19 lawsuits that employers can expect” series, I wrote here about a Families First Coronavirus Response Act lawsuit.
