The U.S. Supreme Court has unanimously ruled to lower the burden for employees filing discrimination claims under Title VII. The decision states that forced transfers without loss of pay or rank can violate Title VII if done for discriminatory reasons. The ruling emphasizes that harm need not be significant for such claims to be actionable, opening the door for more DEI-related lawsuits.
