Reader Question
A reader writes:
I read your blog often, and I was surprised not to see an entry on the White case, where the Supreme Court will interpret the what adverse employment action is.
I’m not going to act like I have been all over everything lately, and I’ve let a few things slip by me (see my no-I-didn’t-yes-we-did on Ragingwire below, only to see it depublished). But it’s not that I haven’t seen that case. A few things, especially for new readers:
- I deliberately don’t blog federal cases; other sites do that better than I could even spending twice as much time. If you practice in California, you should worry about California rules first, anyway.
- Yes, sometimes federal cases inform California cases, or are even considered binding authority on a question. It’s up in the air often enough whether that will be the case, however.
- No decision has been issued in this one yet anyway.
- I deliberately also don’t blog every case. Unless I see it providing something meaningful (and it might be to you and not me) it won’t be here.
The focus of large U.S. corporate discount retailers on low cost help to contain U.S. inflation and provide U.S. consumetrs with low cost goods.However, outsourcing production of American consumer goods results in hundreds of thousands of lost jobs and lower standard of living for many people in the U.S. What changes can be made in the U.S. law to adjust this situation? What would be the possible consequenses of these changes?
