The U.S. Supreme Court will review if workers from majority backgrounds face greater challenges proving workplace discrimination claims, as suggested by recent appellate decisions.
Marlean Ames' case highlights a divide in courts on whether Title VII of the Civil Rights Act applies equally to majority and minority groups in discrimination claims.
Since the 1980s, appellate courts have set higher standards for majority group discrimination claims, justifying it by stating such discrimination is less common.
A Supreme Court ruling that favors Ames may support a rise in lawsuits by predominantly white and heterosexual workers alleging discrimination under current workplace policies.
