Employment and Labor Law has been at the forefront of many discussions in recent years. In 2017, the Supreme Court of the United States handed down a decision on Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, et al. [PDF], ruling that non-union members are not required to pay fees to public sector unions, and in doing so, overruled the 1977 Abood v. Detroit Board of Education decision holding that public employees could be required to pay a portion of union dues to cover the expenses of collective bargaining, contract administration, and grievance adjustment purposes. In 2013, the Court decided Vance v. Ball State University, holding that an employee is a "supervisor" for purposes of vicarious liability under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act only if that employee is empowered by the employer to take tangible employment action against the victim.
