Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Labor And Employment Law, Thomas M. Winn Iii
Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Labor And Employment Law, Thomas M. Winn Iii
University of Richmond Law Review
This article discusses six areas of labor and employment law in which there was significant activity in Virginia's courts over the past year: (1) covenants not to compete and employee's fiduciary duties to employers; (2) the doctrine of respondeat superior; (3) negligent hiring, retention, and supervision; (4) wrongful discharge in violation of public policy; (5) workers' compensation exclusivity; and (6) employment agreements. Beyond the scope of this article are decisions rendered in other areas of law that affect the employment relationship, including defamation, claims under Virginia's Occupational Safety and Health Act, public employment claims, and unemployment compensation claims.

A Uniform Standard For Exemplary Damages In Employment Discrimination Cases, Judith J. Johnson
A Uniform Standard For Exemplary Damages In Employment Discrimination Cases, Judith J. Johnson
University of Richmond Law Review
The standards for exemplary damages in employment discrimination cases are in disarray. The major federal provisions that prohibit private employment discrimination, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("Title VII"),2 42 U.S.C. § 1981 ("§ 1981"), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act ("ADEA"), and the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), all have an indistinguishably worded standard for assessing exemplary damages: "reckless indifference to federally protected rights."

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Employment Law, Thomas M. Winn Iii
University of Richmond Law Review
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." For both Virginia employers and employees alike, this sentiment rang true over the past year in the employment law arena, with both camps winning and losing battles as they litigated various employment law matters. This article discusses three principal areas where there was substantial activity in Virginia's courts: public policy wrongful discharge claims; negligent hiring, retention, and supervision claims; and the enforcement of noncompetition agreements. Beyond the scope of this article are decisions rendered in other areas of law affecting the employment relationship, including the areas of workers' …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Employment Law, M. Christina Floyd
University of Richmond Law Review
There have been a variety of developments in employment law since the Annual Survey of Virginia Law last included an article on this topic. This article focuses primarily upon two significant areas: (1) wrongful discharge and (2) employment contract claims which have been litigated since September 1996. Public sector employment, unemployment compensation, and workers' compensation are not addressed in this article.
The Age Discrimination In Employment Act At Thirty: Where It's Been, Where It Is Today, Where It's Going, Howard C. Eglit
The Age Discrimination In Employment Act At Thirty: Where It's Been, Where It Is Today, Where It's Going, Howard C. Eglit
University of Richmond Law Review
Thirty-three years ago, in the course of debating the legislation that eventually was enacted into law as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Congress began-albeit very tentatively-to address age discrimination in the workplace. While it rejected attempts to amend the 1964 bill to include age within the then-pending menu of proscribed bases for workplace decision-making, i.e., race, color, national origin, religion, and sex, Congress did direct the Secretary of Labor to undertake a study to ascertain the nature and extent of age bias in employment and to make recommendations for dealing with this discrimination, if it in fact existed.
Does Pretext Plus Age Equal The Sum Of The Judgement?, Susan Childers North
Does Pretext Plus Age Equal The Sum Of The Judgement?, Susan Childers North
University of Richmond Law Review
In deciding cases under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), several circuit courts of appeals have interpreted the tripartite test set forth in McDonnell Douglas v. Green to mean that a plaintiff could prevail in proving individual disparate treatment by proving a prima facie case and that the employer's proffered reasons were a pretext. The Third, Seventh and Eighth Circuits concluded that a showing that a proffered justification is pretextual is equivalent to a finding that the employer intentionally discriminated. In other words, "the plaintiff is entitled to judgment as a matter of law when, in the third stage …
Adea Doctrinal Impediments To The Fulfillment Of The Wirtz Report Agenda, Michael C. Harper
Adea Doctrinal Impediments To The Fulfillment Of The Wirtz Report Agenda, Michael C. Harper
University of Richmond Law Review
Ideally, this symposium marking the three-decade anniversary of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) would present an opportunity to assess how well the ADEA has achieved its plausible goals. However, I recognize that any definitive assessment of the success of a statute like the ADEA, which requires the modification of the behavior of social actors, must depend on the kind of sophisticated empirical study for which I have neither the time, resources or capability. I also recognize that defending my identification of the goals of the ADEA might itself require an entire essay.
Wards Cove Packing Or Not Wards Cove Packing? That Is Not The Question: Some Thoughts On Impact Analysis Under The Age Discrimination In Employment Act, Mack A. Player
University of Richmond Law Review
Assume two employers, A and B. Each gives a separate objective test to select employees for a particular position. Employer A utilizes a pen-and-paper, multiple choice examination that has questions in three major categories: 1) biology and genetics which includes DNA theory, cloning, etc.; 2) astrophysics, with questions about time, space, light relationships, "black holes," novas, etc. and 3) microprocessor engineering, the internet, silicon chips, and the like.
Organized Labor As Shareholder Activist: Building Coalitions To Promote Worker Capitalism, Marleen A. O'Connor
Organized Labor As Shareholder Activist: Building Coalitions To Promote Worker Capitalism, Marleen A. O'Connor
University of Richmond Law Review
In the past, the traditional question posed by unions was: "which side are you on?"--presenting a clear choice between labor and capital. As membership and bargaining power fall, however, unions are asserting their rights as shareholders to influence corporate decision making outside the conventional labor law framework. Because the National Labor Relations Act does not adequately protect workers' rights, unions have devised innovative methods as shareholders to exercise unprecedented power over managers. In only a few years, labor-shareholders have become highly visible players in the institutional shareholder movement. As a group, labor-shareholders submit one of the largest numbers of shareholder …
Retirement Incentives In The Twenty First Century: The Move Toward Employer Control Of The Adea, Judith A. Mcmorrow
Retirement Incentives In The Twenty First Century: The Move Toward Employer Control Of The Adea, Judith A. Mcmorrow
University of Richmond Law Review
Retirement has become an increasingly important topic of public policy discussion in the United States, as well as an accepted, and even cherished, goal for many American workers. Consequently, it is not surprising that the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) recognized, somewhat inartfully, the importance of retirement. When originally passed, the ADEA expressly provided an exemption for any bona fide employee benefit plan such as a retirement, pension, or insurance plan, which is not a subterfuge to evade the purposes of the ADEA. In 1986, Congress amended the ADEA to eliminate mandatory retirement, but made clear in its legislative …
"The Harvest Is Plentiful, But The Laborers Are Few": Hiring Practices And Religiously Affiliated Universities, Robert John Araujo
"The Harvest Is Plentiful, But The Laborers Are Few": Hiring Practices And Religiously Affiliated Universities, Robert John Araujo
University of Richmond Law Review
This is a paper with a modest goal about an immodest topic: how mankind does God's work in this world. In particular, I address a small part of this rather large question: how do religiously affiliated schools make their modest contribution to this work? More particularly, who gets chosen to be a laborer in bringing in the plentiful harvest. The laborer is the teacher or administrator, the vineyard is the religiously affiliated university or college of the late twentieth century United States. Consequently, I address employment practices: who gets hired as a laborer and by what criteria is this special …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Employment Law, Paul G. Beers
University of Richmond Law Review
The focus of this article is upon employment law in Virginia during 1993 and the first half of 1994. In addition, significant judicial decisions from 1992 are covered. Workers' compensation and unemployment compensation are excluded as topics. Public sector employment law also lies outside the scope of this article. Nevertheless, two decisions of the Supreme Court of Virginia which involve public employees are analyzed. The most turbulent and rapidly evolving area of Virginia employment law lies in tort. The decisions discussed below indicate that employees stand only a modest chance of recovering against their employers in wrongful discharge suits based …
The Revolution That Wasn't: On The Business As Usual Aspects Of Employment At Will, Sid L. Moller
The Revolution That Wasn't: On The Business As Usual Aspects Of Employment At Will, Sid L. Moller
University of Richmond Law Review
With a pronouncement that has become quite familiar to those who follow employment law, a nineteenth century state court captured the employment at will rule in its pristine form: "An employer can fire an employee for good reason, bad reason or for a reason morally wrong, without incurring any liability."

Employment-Based Preferences Categories: An Effort To Simplify Has Resulted In More Paperwork, Vishwa B. Bhargava
University of Richmond Law Review
With the passage of the Immigration Act of 19901 ("the Act"), employment-based and family-sponsored immigration underwent sweeping and dramatic reforms. By implementing new criteria for both these areas of immigration, the Act sought to realize its new policy of strengthening American competitiveness in the global economy and to reinforce its prior policy of favoring family reunification. The Act, which was signed into law by President Bush on November 29, 1990, and went into effect on October 1, 1991, "represents the culmination of a decade-long reform process that began with the Select Commission on Immigration and Refugee Policy in 1979." The …

Americans With Disabilities Act: Dispelling The Myths. A Practical Guide To Eeoc's Voodoo Civil Rights And Wrongs, Charles D. Goldman
University of Richmond Law Review
The time is at hand for reality to replace expectation as the employment provisions of the federal mandate not to discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities, the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA"), are now the law of the land. A new era of rights, responsibilities, and opportunities dawned for private and governmental employers, and disabled persons when the rules of the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") went into effect on July 26, 1992. A practical, common sense utilization of institutional solutions complemented by individualized applications, not ad hoc reactions, is essential. Other- wise employers' worst fears will …

At-Will Employment: Going, Going, Cheryl S. Massingale
At-Will Employment: Going, Going, Cheryl S. Massingale
University of Richmond Law Review
The doctrine of at-will employment is undergoing serious erosion. At-will employment has traditionally meant that either party in an employment relationship is free to terminate employment at any time for any reason. In recent years, however, court rulings have created many exceptions to the at-will rule, and the current status of the doctrine offers little certainty as to whether a particular dismissal decision will result in liability for wrongful termination.
