Marlean Ames’s case could transform workplace discrimination claims and lead to flood of lawsuits
The US supreme court will hear oral arguments on Wednesday in a case that has the potential to transform workplace discrimination claims and unleash a flood of lawsuits from white people, straight people and men.
Marlean Ames has brought an appeal to the highest court claiming that she was passed over for a job and demoted because she is straight. She says she was removed from her position as an administrator in a state agency for youth services in Ohio and replaced by a gay man.
