    Bachelder V. American West Airlines Case Study

    The legal issue in this case is Penny Bachelder claims her employer, America West Airlines, violated the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 ("FMLA" or "the Act") when it terminated her in 1996 for poor attendance. Bachelder countered that according to the regulations implementing the FMLA, she was entitled to have her leave eligibility calculated by the method most favorable to her. Under a calendar year method of calculating leave eligibility, she contended, her February 1996 absences were protected by the FMLA, and America West had violated the Act by relying on those absences in deciding to fire her. The district court granted partial summary judgment to America West, holding that Bachelder was not entitled to the Act 's protection for her 1996 absences. Bachelder appealed the district court 's subsequent finding, after a bench trial, that, in deciding to fire her, America West did not impermissibly consider FMLA-protected leave she took in 1994…

    Dred Scott V. Sanford Case Analysis

    In the years leading up to the Civil War, the constitution did not provide a clear answer for deciding whether or not a slave had the same rights as a person. The federal government faced a divided country, and passed laws enforcing the return of slaves to their owner’s states, such as the Fugitive Slave Act. Contradicting this were “personal liberty laws,” which allowed states to decide who would be considered a person in their territory. However, both the Fugitive Slave Act and “personal liberty laws” were challenged in the Dred Scott v. Sanford case. The ambiguity of the constitution would lead to a four-year-long war between the Northern and Southern states.…

    Young V. UPS Case Study

    The question before the Supreme Court concerning the Young v. UPS. Does the Pregnancy Discrimination Act require an employer to provide the same work accommodations to an employee with pregnancy-related work limitations as to employees with similar, but non-pregnancy related, work limitation? (http://www.oyez.org/cases) Samuel Bagenstos on behalf of the petitioner argued that UPS violated the second clause of the PDA. To his understanding the second clause means an employee seeking accommodation or benefits due to pregnancy is entitled to the same accommodation the employer would provide to an employee under the same restriction, but is not pregnant (http://www.oyez.org/cases). He contended that the second clause adds nothing to the first…
