$12 Million Settlement in PNC Bank Labor Suit

PNC Bank has agreed to pay $12 million to settle a class action lawsuit by its mortgage loan officers arising from a series of alleged labor violations. Among these, the bank was accused of failing to account for loan officers’ breaks for their compensation, and that it improperly took deductions from their salary, causing them to make less than they were legally entitled to. While PNC argued that its compensation scheme was fair, it ultimately settled after losing on a partial motion for summary judgment.

Five Important Facts About Pregnancy Discrimination

Thanks to advances in technology and medicine, pregnant women are now able to work far longer into their pregnancy than they once were. However, that is often predicated on their employer helping to provide them the reasonable accommodations they need to perform their jobs, when many employers would rather not take on that amount of effort and expense. Here are five things you need to know about pregnancy discrimination:

Workday Faces Discrimination Suit Over Biased AI Software

Workday Inc., a software company that produces programs for human resources and labor management purposes, is facing a class action lawsuit due to alleged bias in its artificial intelligence-powered software. The lawsuit claims that the company’s software illegally discriminates against people based on protected factors, such as race and disability status. Workday, meanwhile, has argued they should not be subjected to this lawsuit because they are not an employment firm, despite a ruling by the EEOC to the contrary.

FTC Finalizes Ban on Non-Compete Clauses

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has finalized a broad ban on non- compete clauses in employment contracts throughout the United States. While many consider this to be a potential boon for workers, employers have pushed back, saying that non-compete agreements are essential for their businesses. The FTC is already facing potential litigation on the issue from employers angry about the new rule.

NY Governor Vetoes Ban on Non-Compete Agreements

Governor Kathy Hochul of New York has vetoed a law that would have banned non-compete agreements throughout the state. If it had passed, the law would have had a substantial impact on labor law, and affected employees across potentially every industry with these sorts of agreements in their employment contract. However, because of the veto, non-compete agreements will remain in place, at least for now.

This is an argument being made after an appeal of a Connecticut federal court ruling that went in Amazon’s favor. This critical issue could substantially affect how employees are compensated according to the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and other related legislation.

But what exactly does it mean to suffer from a wrongful termination, and what should you do if it happens to you?

EEOC Seeks Enforcement of PWFA and PUMP Act

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has been stepping up enforcement of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) and the PUMP Act, which enacted federal protections of pregnant women. This has been seen in a handful of cases with employers paying out settlements due to alleged pregnancy discrimination. This could be a sign of employers potentially facing increased liability as the EEOC dedicates more resources towards enforcing the PWFA and PUMP Act.

    I had a great experience working with Steven Sack during my recent job separation. He was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for me. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to secure additional benefits beyond my original severance package, for which I am truly grateful. Steven guided me through the entire process with clear communication and support, making a challenging situation much easier. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a dedicated and effective advocate!
