The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear multiple significant cases related to workplace discrimination. Among these cases is one involving a straight woman who claims she lost job opportunities because of her sexual orientation. Another case concerns a former Halliburton employee alleging age discrimination after the Tenth Circuit ruled that a trial court lacked the authority to reopen his case following arbitration. Additionally, the court will consider whether it should be more challenging for workers from majority backgrounds, such as white or heterosexual individuals, to prove discrimination claims. The court will also review a class action involving Cornell University employees who allege that their retirement plan was mismanaged, providing an opportunity to clarify the pleading standards for prohibited transaction claims under ERISA. Liberty University is also involved in a case where a transgender worker claims she was fired due to her gender identity conflicting with the school's religious beliefs.
