Third Thursday: Supreme Court 2024 – A Recap and a Look Forward

Please join us for the next edition of Third Thursday – Crowell & Moring’s Labor and Employment Update, a webinar series dedicated to helping our clients stay on top of developing law and emerging compliance issues.

The U.S. Supreme Court has issued several decisions this year implicating substantive employment law and procedural issues that affect important aspects of employment law litigation.  These key decisions include:

• Muldrow v. St. Louis, in which the Court lowered the burden for plaintiffs to establish an adverse employment action in a Title VII discrimination claim.
• Murray v. UBS Securities, LLC, which clarified the requirements of whistleblower claims under the Sarbanes Oxley Act.
• Starbucks Corp. v. McKinney, setting a rigorous standard that must be applied for any injunctions sought by the NLRB against employers in alleged unfair labor practice cases.
• Acheson Hotels, LLC v. Laufer, addressing questions related to the ability of “tester” plaintiffs to bring disability discrimination claims.  

In this month’s program, our panelists will discuss the Court’s significant opinions from this term and what they will mean for employers and employment law, and we will also provide a preview of the Court’s docket for next year.
