Stipulation Against Marriage
Irish Arellano, a flight attendant of ABC Airlines, was dismissed from her job by reason of her marriage. In dismissing her, the company invoked its policy which provides: Flight attendant applicants must be single and will be automatically separated from employment in the event they subsequently get married. Irish disputed her dismissal on account of her marriage, invoking Article 135 of the Labor Code. The company, on the other hand, also raised arguments that its flight attendants will get pregnant upon getting married and the marriage will make them inefficient or less efficient. To add, the company argued the policy has been enforced for many years and so far, no competent authority has declared it illegal or unjust. It also claimed that it has openly adopted and enforced this policy or regulation in good faith over the years believing it legally justifiable because of…

- Case 6: Pre-Employment Screenings: What’s Appropriate? At a public library in Oregon in 2004, Janet Lanier applied for work as a library page. The job duties included such tasks as reshelving books and occasionally working a youth service desk. The library offered Lanier the job, on the condition that she first submit to drug and alcohol testing—a pre-employment requirement recently adopted by the library’s municipality. After Lanier refused to take the test, claiming it was an invasion of her privacy, the library withdrew its offer. Lanier then sued the library, alleging that a pre-employment drug and alcohol test constituted unreasonable search and seizure—a practice barred by the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution as well as the Oregon state constitution. A district court found the testing policy unconstitutional. That ruling was later reversed on appeal. However, the appellate court said jobs that keep the public safe—for example, the role of police officer—could…arrow_forwardPatrick Clawson was described by reporter Karen Branch-Brioso in a newspaper story as a “1970s era St. Louis journalist turned private eye turned FBI informant.” The story was published in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The fact that he had been characterized as an informant bothered Clawson, who saw it as damaging to his reputation. Accordingly, he brought a libel case against the Post-Dispatch. Recall that to be libelous, a statement must be false and “hold the victim up to ridicule, contempt, or hatred.” Clawson would have preferred the term whistleblower rather than informant because that term commands more respect. Why is the use of the term informant to describe Clawson not libelous?arrow_forwardEmployee arrested after Eskom power station is hit by more oil theftLess than a year after Eskom uncovered an oil crime syndicate at its Tutuka power station in Mpumalanga, an employee has been arrested after more oil theft was uncovered at the power station.On Monday, the Eskom employee appeared in court after 10 drums of oil, worth R800 000, were stolen. Eskom said that following an internal investigation, and with the support of the Hawks, the employee appeared in the Standerton Magistrate's Court and was remanded in custody for a bail application. "We shall ensure that bail is denied, and that the employee faces the full might of the law," said Karen Pillay, generalmanager for Eskom Group Security. Last year, Eskom uncovered that a syndicate was stealing approximately R100 million worth of oil per month from Tutuka. In a separate incident at the Matla power station, cleaning contractors were arrested for allegedly stealing copper cables which they placed in a waste storage…arrow_forward
- Stephen Glass made himself infamous as a dishonest journalist by fabricating material for more than forty articles for The New Republic and other publications. At the time, he was a law student at Georgetown University. Once suspicions were aroused, Glass tried to avoid detection. Later, Glass applied for admission to the California bar. The California Supreme Court denied his application, citing “numerous instances of dishonesty” during his “rehabilitation” following the exposure of his misdeeds. How do these circumstances underscore the importance of ethics?arrow_forwardThe Case of Baylor University Patty Crawford, the Title IX coordinator at Baylor from November 2014 to October 2016, was hired to coordinate the institution’s Title IX compliance when this case took place (Baylor University, n.d.). Like all Title IX coordinators, Crawford’s role was a comprehensive administrative role that bears the responsibility of ensuring that campuses prevent and respond to gender discrimination, including sexual misconduct. This role spans duties related to grievance process management, victim assistance, organization management, and climate management (Lake, 2017). In addition to managing the institution’s compliance, Title IX coordinators also craft comprehensive training and awareness strategies to ensure students, employees, and other campus stakeholders are aware of how to identify and report sexual misconduct and what resources are available to students regardless of whether they choose to proceed with the grievance process. Crawford alleged that she was…arrow_forwardMohamed Arafi, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Morocco, works as a valet dry cleaner for the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Washington, D.C. In December 2010, a supervisor allegedly prohibited Arab or Muslim workers from going on floors occupied by a delegation of Israeli diplomats. The supervisor allegedly told Arafi, “You know how the Israelis are with Arabs and Muslims.” Arafi says he complied with his supervisor’s instructions but consequently lost out on tips. He subsequently complained to another supervisor and the hotel’s director of human resources. Arafi says his work hours were cut, and that his colleagues said demeaning things about Muslims to him after the incident became known to them. Arafi brought suit under Title VII, alleging disparate treatment resulting in an adverse employment action (the loss of tips), as well as retaliation. The Mandarin Hotel claimed a national security exemption. Would either of Arafi’s claims be successful? Would the Hotel’s? [Arafi v. Mandarin…arrow_forward
