Same-Sex Harassment: Do Either Price Waterhouse Or Oncale Support The Ninth Circuit's Holding In Nichols V. Azteca Restaurant Enterprises, Inc. That Same-Sex Harassment Based On Failure To Conform To Gender Stereotyopes Is Actionable?, Philip Mcgough Jan 2004

Same-Sex Harassment: Do Either Price Waterhouse Or Oncale Support The Ninth Circuit's Holding In Nichols V. Azteca Restaurant Enterprises, Inc. That Same-Sex Harassment Based On Failure To Conform To Gender Stereotyopes Is Actionable?, Philip Mcgough

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

In Nichols v. Azteca Restaurant Enterprises, the Ninth Circuit, overruling a twenty-two year old case, held that same-sex harassment based on gender stereotypes is actionable under Title VII. The court based this holding on the Supreme Court's 1989 opinion in Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins. However reasonable a reading of Title VII, the author argues that Nichols takes a major step beyond Hopkins, and resolves an issue not considered, even by implication, in the case. Further, same-sex harassment based on gender stereotypes is an issue sidestepped by the Supreme Court in Oncale - its only opinion to date dealing with same-sex …

"Don't Ask, Don't Tell": A Qualified Defense, Eugene R. Milhizer

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

Upon the 10th Anniversary of the so-called “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, I was asked to reflect upon the policy by Hofstra University. This article presents my remarks at a symposium dedicagted to this topic. The article first reviews in detail the origins of the policy. It then explores the moral debate implicated by the policy, including the traditional arguments against homosexuality with special attention to the natural law, and latitudinarian arguments in favor of homosexuality or opposed to discrimination based on the basis of homosexuality. The article next surveys contemporary attitudes about homosexuality, focusing on military service by homosexuals. …

Liberty, Diversity, Academic Freedom, And Survival: Preferential Hiring Among Religiously-Affliated Institutions Of Higher Education, Jamie Darin Prenkert Jan 2004

Liberty, Diversity, Academic Freedom, And Survival: Preferential Hiring Among Religiously-Affliated Institutions Of Higher Education, Jamie Darin Prenkert

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

This article discusses the exemptions given to religious educational institutions from the usual Title VII protections afforded employees. The author supports the use of such exemptions when they promote diversity and protecting the fundamental foundation of the institution itself, but warns that there is a point where the exemptions must not be used even when they are within the power of the institution to invoke. Such inappropriate instances include promoting faculty or granting tenure to faculty members who are not of the religious persuasion of the institution, or hiring the best and brightest faculty over the professor who simply agrees …


Same-Sex Marriage: The Evolving Landscape For Employee Benefits, Neal S. Schelberg, Carri L. Mitnick Jan 2004

Same-Sex Marriage: The Evolving Landscape For Employee Benefits, Neal S. Schelberg, Carri L. Mitnick

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

This article deals with the aftermath of the Goodridge decision in terms of employment benefits for partners in a same-sex marriage, particularly in the interstate context. Because marriages in one state are generally recognized in all other states, the article focuses on how employers must treat a Massachusetts same-sex marriage in light of the Defense of Marriage Act and its prohibition of same-sex marriage for the purpose of federal employment benefits.


The Continuing Relevance Of Race-Concious Remedies And Prgrams In Integrating The Nation's Workforce, Michael L. Foreman, Kristin M. Dadey, Audrey J. Wiggins Jan 2004

The Continuing Relevance Of Race-Concious Remedies And Prgrams In Integrating The Nation's Workforce, Michael L. Foreman, Kristin M. Dadey, Audrey J. Wiggins

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

The authors argue that achieving diversity should be one of the main legitimate justifications for affirmative action programs, in addition to the traditionally cited "remedy for past discrimination" justification. The authors describe the legal framework for affirmative action beginning with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. They discuss the various types of affirmative action plans - public and private, court ordered and voluntary. The article concludes with a discussion of Department of Justice and EEOC policies towards affirmative action, arguing that the federal government should be the biggest proponent of such programs.


Facially Neutral No-Rehires Rules And The Americans With Disabilities Act, Christine Neylon O'Brien Jan 2004

Facially Neutral No-Rehires Rules And The Americans With Disabilities Act, Christine Neylon O'Brien

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

This article deals with the issue of whether alcoholism should qualify as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Under this theoretical category, an employee or potential employee would have a cause of action once he shows his disability no longer interferes with his ability to perform his job. One example of a prospective plaintiff is a recovering alcoholic. The author addresses the difference between a disparate impact claim and a disparate treatment claim and asserts what employers should do to ensure they do not run afoul of the ADA.

Cross-Employee Redistribution Effects Of Mandated Employee Benefits, Sharon Rabin-Margalioth Jan 2003

Cross-Employee Redistribution Effects Of Mandated Employee Benefits, Sharon Rabin-Margalioth

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

Whether mandated employee benefit policies are efficient, depends on the ratio of aggregate value attached by employees to the benefit, compared to the aggregate employer cost of providing the benefit. The higher the aggregate value/cost ratio is, the stronger is the justification for implementing the policy. High value/cost ratios are indicative of the existence of market failures in the voluntary provision of the benefit. Mandated benefits, efficient or not, do not entail employer-employee redistributive outcomes. The fact that no employment rate changes can be traced following the enforcement of a mandate program is usually indicative of full employer cost shifting. …

The Potential For State Labor Law: The New York Greengrocer Code Of Conduct, Matthew T. Bodie Jan 2003

The Potential For State Labor Law: The New York Greengrocer Code Of Conduct, Matthew T. Bodie

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

While labor law academics bemoan the ossification of federal labor law, the potential for state labor law has just begun to be explored. This Article takes a closer look at the New York Greengrocer Code of Conduct, a unique approach to the problem of industry-wide employment law violations. The Code, negotiated by the New York Attorney General's Office in conjunction with groups representing workers and greengrocers, provides a set of minimum terms and conditions for grocers which to some extent go beyond statutory requirements. In return for agreeing to the Code, grocers can avoid liability for past state employment law …
