Court to decide on protecting against employer retaliation
The Supreme Court will review whether federal civil rights law protects employees from retaliation after cooperating with an investigation. Vicky Crawford, a Nashville school system employee fired in 2003 after 30 years, claimed retaliation for alleging harassment by Gene Hughes. Courts held Title VII did not apply as she merely answered investigators, prompting US Solicitor General support for protection. The case also includes an age discrimination claim from Knolls Atomic Power Lab former workers.
