SCOTUS asks SG's views in retaliation case
December 16, 2009 by Ross Runkel at LawMemo
Thompson v. North American Stainless
Eric Thompson claimed he was fired because his fiancée filed an EEOC charge. In a 10 to 6 decision, the 6th Circuit held that Title VII does not create a cause of action for third-party retaliation for persons who did not themselves engage in protected activity.
A petition for certiorari is pending.
On Monday the US Supreme Court invited the Solicitor General to file a brief expressing the views of the United States. This process typically takes several months; there is no deadline.
