In dismissing her, the company invoked its policy which provides: Flight attendant applicants must be single and will be automatically separated from employment in the event they subsequently get married. Irish disputed her dismissal on account of her marriage, invoking Article 135 of the Labor Code.

To add, the company argued the policy has been enforced for many years and so far, no competent authority has declared it illegal or unjust. It also claimed that it has openly adopted and enforced this policy or regulation in good faith over the years believing it legally justifiable because of…arrow_forwardThe union (Union) member-employees of the Erie Resistor Company (Company) struck Company over the terms of a new collective bargaining agreement that was being negotiated between Company and Union.

- Case 6: Pre-Employment Screenings: What’s Appropriate? At a public library in Oregon in 2004, Janet Lanier applied for work as a library page. The job duties included such tasks as reshelving books and occasionally working a youth service desk. The library offered Lanier the job, on the condition that she first submit to drug and alcohol testing—a pre-employment requirement recently adopted by the library’s municipality. After Lanier refused to take the test, claiming it was an invasion of her privacy, the library withdrew its offer. Lanier then sued the library, alleging that a pre-employment drug and alcohol test constituted unreasonable search and seizure—a practice barred by the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution as well as the Oregon state constitution. A district court found the testing policy unconstitutional. That ruling was later reversed on appeal. However, the appellate court said jobs that keep the public safe—for example, the role of police officer—could…arrow_forwardCase: Dismissal for constitutive act of sexual harassment against an employee Ms. Cruz was in her work area dispatching a patient file “standing and bent” when her supervisor “spanked her hip”. She expressed her indignation and told him that he had been disrespected and lacerated her dignity as a woman. This event occurred in the presence of several colleagues of Mrs. Cruz and around sixty (60) patients. The unwanted physical contact perpetrated by her supervisor towards that intimate part caused her to start crying and had to leave her work area to try to calm down. Since he could not get himself together, he requested authorization to leave his work shift early. Two days later, Mrs. Cruz returned to her place of employment and requested to be relocated to another area. On that same date, the department director interviewed her and drew up a preliminary report in which she described what happened.

According to the suit, the employee was paid as an independent contractor through oDesk and assigned projects that were impossible for him to complete in the maximum 30 hours per week that he was authorized to bill. This forced him to work additional hours on his own time, without the benefit of overtime pay to which he was legally entitled to under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Google also provided the worker with a mobile phone, tablet, and laptop computer while he worked at Google offices in New York.

She gave MBank a security interest in the vehicle as collateral to secure the loan. When Sanchez defaulted on the loan, MBank hired El Paso Recovery Service, an independent contractor, to repossess the automobile. The two men from El Paso who were dispatched to Sanchez’s house found the car parked in the driveway and hooked it to a tow truck.
