Supreme Court blocks group actions in environmental suit

The decision affects residents of Vermont and others seeking damages from firms in other states, with at least 10000 dollars at stake. Key cases involve disability benefits for pregnant women, postal union activity, night shift pay gaps, and military service offenses. The order follows a federal suit by Keith and Valerie Zahn and Charles and Marion Leazer on lakefront properties in Orwell Shoreham and Bridgeport.
