Here are the last two podcasts for employment law. Harassment
and Retaliation.
The last two podcasts

Two more podcasts
Mar 27th, 2018 by Marcia McCormick
Here is a summary (blissfully short) for systemic disparate treatment:
and disparate impact:
If you have listened to my podcasts in the past, you might notice that these sound a little different. I did not slow down the playback, as I sometimes do. So if I’m speaking too fast, you might want to slow down your playback if you can.
New podcasts on the way for employment discrimination
Mar 27th, 2018 by Marcia McCormick
And here is the first installment: Disparate Treatment
More news! and Prof. Bodie!
Oct 12th, 2017 by Marcia McCormick
Professor Bodie was quoted in this interesting New York Times analysis of the NFL players’ rights to take a knee.
Discrimination and voice in the news
Oct 11th, 2017 by Marcia McCormick
As promised, here is the audio podcast for the last unit we have focused on: employment discrimination.
And, bonus links about the NFL and standing for the national anthem:
Labor union files ULP against anthem threat
NFL rule change about standing for the anthem?
And another one about defamation in St. Louis (between businesses, but still employment-ish)
Civil Rights Cases in Missouri
Oct 10th, 2017 by Marcia McCormick
I keep talking about how many important civil rights cases have come from Missouri and from St. Louis in particular. BAMSL is holding a CLE to talk about four of them at the Missouri History Museum

Dignity & Voice
Oct 10th, 2017 by Marcia McCormick
I’ve rerecorded the employee privacy podcast
and the employee voice podcast.
Buckets of links
Oct 9th, 2017 by Marcia McCormick
I owe my worklaw students apologies for being so delayed on podcasts. Scripts for everything we’ve covered since the last quiz except for discrimination are on TWEN, and the discrimination one will be available Wednesday. I still have to record the two new ones, but hope to have those available tomorrow.
In the meantime, there are just so many news stories related to our topics–here is a smattering of them and thanks to those of you who have been sending me links. I love them!
Former Hazelwood Principal’s Reverse Discrimination Case
DOJ Reverses Policy on Transgender Employees
Jemele Hill Suspended by ESPN for Violating Social Media Policy
Should You Fire the Charlottesville Protestors?
The Legality of Firing NFL Players for Protesting
Wisconsin Company to Microchip Employees
European Court of Human Rights Limits Employee Email Monitoring
Google Sued for Sex Discrimination
Harvey Weinstein Fired for Decades of Harassment
There are lots of different articles on these stories, but these all lay out the basics on workplace privacy, voice, and discrimination stories in the news.
DACA Explainer
Oct 6th, 2017 by Marcia McCormick
Although we aren’t going to really have much time to talk about the intersection of immigration law and employment law (it’s a big and specialized area), you might be wondering how the rescission of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program will work and what the consequences might be.
There is a great explainer at the Balikinization blog.
Epic Systems v. Lewis (and consolidated cases)
Oct 2nd, 2017 by Marcia McCormick
The oral argument transcript from the Supreme Court case I mentioned today about class action waivers as a condition of employment just went live. I haven’t read it yet, but I’ll likely have thoughts. And there are some experts among your classmates on this issue too! The National Law Journal, at least, suggests that the Court may be leaning in the direction of agreeing that these waivers violate the NLRA and the Norris-LaGuardia Act.
