The case narrows and simplifies the definition of "supervisor" as it pertains to title VII legislation. I actually agree with the ruling, but the decision is written in a way that I feel sets up an opportunity for employers to dodge the intention of title VII. If they spent a little more time defining how much scheduling, how much direction, how much instruction, etc. one would have to give before the title "supervisor," rather than "coworker" became legally applicable, I think it would be a very good ruling. As it stands, more energy is directed towards making it clear just how an employer can avoid liability than how a person who has been discriminated against can prove it.Alfred Lord Tenniscourthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03918905822644168210noreply@blogger.com
