Sexual Orientation Discrimination and Finite Telecommuting Request
By: Karen Piper and Danielle Lester
SECOND FEDERAL APPEALS COURT RULES TITLE VII BANS SEXUAL ORIENTATION DISCRIMINATION
On February 26, 2018 the Second Circuit Court of Appeals became the latest appellate court to rule that discrimination based on sexual orientation is prohibited by Title VII. Zarda v. Altitude Express, Inc., Case No. 15-3775. The Court said, "sexual orientation discrimination constitutes a form of sex discrimination 'because of … sex' in violation of Title VII."
The case was brought by Donald Zarda, a sky-diving instructor who was fired in 2010 after an incident with a female customer. Zarda claimed he was fired for telling the customer that he was gay. His employer said it fired Zarda because Zarda had touched the customer inappropriately during a tandem jump.
Zarda sued for sexual orientation discrimination and gender stereotype discrimination under Title VII and New York state law. The district court dismissed his Title VII claim in 2014 because at that time the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, consistent with the consensus among the other federal appeals courts, and the then-position of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC"), had ruled that Title VII did not prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
Zarda's claim of sexual orientation discrimination under New York law was tried. The jury agreed with the employer. Zarda then appealed the court's previous dismissal of his Title VII claim. A three-judge panel of the Second Circuit denied the appeal because it was bound by Second Circuit precedent. Zarda then asked the entire Second Circuit to review his case. The Second Circuit ruled 10-3 that sexual orientation discrimination should be treated as a subset of sex discrimination under Title VII because:
sex is necessarily a factor in sexual orientation discrimination which is based on the sex of the employee and the sex of the individuals to whom the employee is attracted;
being attracted to same-sex individuals is contrary to gender stereotypes (that employees should be attracted to opposite sex individuals); and
sexual orientation discrimination is a form of associational discrimination because it is based on the employee's association with same-sex individuals. Associational discrimination has been applied in the context of race, often involving an employee's marriage or other association with an individual of a different race. Associational discrimination is expressly prohibited by the Americans with Disabilities Act. The ADA prohibits discrimination against an employee because the employee has a family member with a disability.
Three judges dissented. These judges agreed that "individuals [should] not be subject to workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation." However, based on the "historical context" of 1964 when Title VII was passed, these judges could not conclude that Congress had prohibited sexual orientation discrimination when it passed Title VII. The majority opinion observed that the same was true of other forms of discrimination, such as sexual harassment and hostile work environment. Both of these theories were initially rejected by the courts as not prohibited by Title VII, but ultimately recognized by the United States Supreme Court as being prohibited by Title VII.
The Zarda opinion is binding in the Second Circuit (covering New York, Connecticut and Vermont). It is consistent with an April 2017 opinion from the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals (covering Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin) which also ruled that Title VII prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. It is contrary to a March 2017 opinion by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals (covering Alabama, Florida and Georgia) which decided Title VII does not prohibit sexual orientation discrimination. The Sixth Circuit (covering Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee) has not addressed this issue but did rule in a gender identity case that it is unlawful to discriminate based on nonconformity with gender stereotypes of how a man or woman should look and behave.
Due to the divergence of opinions on this issue among the federal appeals courts and among various federal departments and agencies (the Department of Justice filed an amicus brief in support of the employer in Zarda; the EEOC filed an amicus brief in support of the employee; the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs mandates nondiscrimination on the basis of sexual orientation by federal contractors), it is widely expected that the U.S. Supreme Court will have to decide whether Title VII prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation The Court declined a request to review the Eleventh Circuit case in December 2017.
With so many inconsistent court and agency opinions, employers are wise to ask what they should do. The most practicable answer is simple. Until final guidance is provided by the U.S. Supreme Court, presume that sexual orientation discrimination is prohibited by Title VII.
FINITE TELECOMMUTING REQUEST MAY BE A REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION
Mosby-Meachem v. Memphis Light, Gas & Water Div., Case No. 17-5483 (6th Cir. Feb. 21, 2018) involved a lawsuit filed by an in-house attorney at the company. The company's legal department had an 8:30am-5:00pm attendance policy for its attorneys. Although the company did not have a formal written telecommuting policy, in practice, employees often telecommuted.
Following surgery and placement on modified bed rest, the attorney made an official accommodation request, supported by medical documentation, that she be permitted to work from a bed either within the hospital or within her home for ten weeks. The company's ADA Committee rejected the proposal based on the determination that physical presence in the office was an essential function of the attorney's job, and teleworking created concerns about maintaining confidentiality. Her internal appeals were denied.
The attorney filed a lawsuit against the company for failure to accommodate and retaliation under the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") and for pregnancy discrimination under state law. In relevant part, the jury awarded her a verdict of $92,000 in compensatory damages on her claim of disability discrimination. The company appealed. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the verdict.
On appeal, the company's main argument was that the attorney was not a qualified individual with a disability because physical attendance at work was an essential function of the job of in-house attorney. There was some evidence to support this argument. The Court nevertheless found that there was other evidence that supported the jury's finding that she could perform the essential functions of her job remotely for ten weeks. Several employees as well as outside counsel testified that they felt she could perform all essential functions during the 10-week period working from home. Further, there was evidence that undermined the company's position, such as testimony about the attorney job description. It was based on a 20-year old survey that did not reflect changes in the job that resulted from technological advances. It also included tasks, such as trying cases and deposing witnesses, which the attorney had never performed in her eight years of employment at the company. The Court also noted that no one complained about the attorney's performance while working from home during the three weeks following her initial request until it was denied.
The Court of Appeals distinguished other precedent, EEOC v. Ford Motor Co., 782 F.3d 753 (6th Cir. 2015) (en banc), and Williams v. AT&T Mobility Services LLC, 847 F.3d 384 (6th Cir. 2017), noting that, "because Ford and Williams leave open the possibility of teleworking as a reasonable accommodation, particularly for a finite period of time, a jury could have reasonably concluded from the evidence presented at trial that [the attorney] could perform all the essential functions of her job remotely for ten weeks."
This case should serve to remind employers that all requests for accommodation should be examined on a case-by-case basis. With respect to telecommuting accommodations, the length of the requested accommodation may be relevant to a determination of whether the request is reasonable.


You may have seen your share of makeovers, but nothing like the one Sheila Callaghan inflicts on her heroine in "Everything You Touch," her lushly written dark comedy world-premiering at Boston Court Performing Arts Center.
Three glamorous models descend on Jess (Kirsten Vangsness), shrieking like birds of prey, while Victor, a histrionic fashion designer (Tyler Pierce), shouts insults at her.
She staggers out of the fracas in a leopard-print swing coat.
This scene laid bare the savagery at the heart of every makeover, and it would have won me over — if Jessica Kubzansky's bold, lucid staging of Callaghan's theatrical vision hadn't already done so. Although at moments the script feels as if it's still evolving, the stunning production values highlight its best features (a bit like a makeover, come to think of it).
The play introduces two story lines, which unspool separately, then twist together in pleasingly unpredictable ways. The first involves Victor, a 1970s New York designer and devotee of the beauty-is-pain aesthetic. In his glittering black fashions (sumptuous creations by costume designer Jenny Foldenauer), runway models evoke poisonous animals, and he treats them with pretentious, withering scorn.
Victor's lover and muse, Esmé (Kate Maher), is equally coldhearted. "She wore drama like it was skin," he recalls of the day they met. So it's a shock — with far-reaching consequences — when he throws her over for Louella (Amy French), a folksy Southerner who likes bright colors and waistbands with a little give.
The second story line focuses on Jess, a self-loathing schlub haunted by three models (Allegra Rose Edwards, Chelsea Fryer and Candice Lam) who make it hard for her to notice her nerdy, besotted co-worker, Lewis (Arthur Keng).
Jess learns that her estranged mother, the chief author of her body-image problems, is dying. During this crisis she meets Victor — or does she? He may not be real: He can make magical things happen with a plume of cigarette smoke (gorgeously projected by Adam Flemming on Francois-Pierre Couture's set). Even so he takes on the job of readying Jess, aesthetically and emotionally, for a journey into her past.
The performances, particularly of the two leads, are confident, nuanced and memorable. And the rich sensory feast Kubzansky and her team have served up — which also includes lighting by Jeremy Pivnick, sound by John Zalewski and witty props by John Burton — is a powerful reminder of why beauty, heartless though it may be, holds us in such thrall.
"Everything You Touch," Boston Court Performing Arts Center, 70 North Mentor Ave., Pasadena. 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, 2 p.m. Sundays. Added performance May 7. Ends May 11. $34. (626) 683-6883 or www.bostoncourt.org. Running time: 2 hours, 25 minutes.

INNOVATION WITH IMPACT
Over the decade+ period of creative collaboration with multiple organizations at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), W|W produced impactful communication pieces that helped raise the profile of the University, raise $1 billion and recruit more students (than ever before) while organically developing the institutional brand.
When W|W started designing formative marketing components for CMU, the university was struggling to articulate its brand essence - what made CMU special, unique and different than other top tier universities. As W|W overhauled the Undergraduate Admission recruitment marketing materials (viewbook, search, travel, website, newsletter), the narrative that surfaced really resonated with the client, and more importantly with prospective students fitting targeted personas. Through this process W|W successfully helped CMU leverage how its unique arts + sciences composition truly delivers Innovation with Impact. W|W also found opportunities to introduce some personality (that was missing) from existing university branding via humor, wit, nostalgia and Tartan pride.
W|W partnerships with Carnegie Mellon organizations have included: Undergraduate Admission, Institutional Advancement, College of Fine Arts, School of Music, School of Drama, Qatar Campus, School of Computer Science, Language Technology Institute, Information Networking Institute, Tepper School of Business, among others.
Whether re-designing a suite of marketing collateral or creating a solitary component for CMU, W|W applied an integrated approach to ensure the university's authentic voice is consistently signaled. In the category of printed pieces, W|W has surely covered the gamut for CMU, including: logos, identity guidelines, viewbooks, search pieces, travel pieces, direct mail, publications & style guides, special event invitations, calendars, fund raising books, posters, advertising, and more.
Recognizing that branded environments are one of the most powerful ways to engage an audience, design elements created by W|W for Carnegie Mellon were often extended and deployed in a variety of physical spaces.
Multiple Carnegie Mellon departments and programs have secured creative assistance from W|W with their visual identity design, including the School of Drama for its Centennial celebration, and the Language Technology Institute and the Master of Computational Data Science with their logos.
The digital deliverables from W|W for Carnegie Mellon have been numerous and have continually evolved to keep pace with technology. While developing efficiencies in several platforms, W|W has remained flexible and as technology agnostic as possible recognizing that one specific CMS isn't the right solution for every challenge. From websites designed & developed under a cloak of secrecy for university leadership to integrations of Google Search Appliance (GSA) to deployments of WordPress & Drupal to design integrations with social media channels, W|W has interactive covered with CMU.
You only turn 25 once and it is usually cause for a big party. That was no different for the Carnegie Mellon University Information Networking Institute (INI), as W|W designed and produced a video to help commemorate the INI's 25th Anniversary. W|W leveraged the theme, "My heart is in the network" which celebrates how alumni and friends are interconnected with each other, the INI, Carnegie Mellon and the world at large.

Official Biography (courtesy of Travis Greene)
Travis Greene is an anointed writer, singer, producer, and minister. His mission is to declare war against the enemy and reclaim this generation for Jesus Christ. Greene's musical style is accented with pop, melodic gospel, and energetic rock compositions. The use of transparent lyrical content along with flavorful beats, allow this artist to interpret the gospel in a manner that crosses multiple boundaries. He boldly states: "I'm not afraid to be exactly who God has called me to be. The fact that I don't waste time trying to be someone I'm not, allows my sound of worship to be expressed authentically."
Greene has been deemed the "Modern Day Lazarus." He was pronounced dead twice, yet lives to sing about it! His debut album, "The More," released under his independent record label, Greenelight International, glimpses into the life and ministry of this phenomenal psalmist. Songs such as, "My Testimony," describe the artist's encounter with God after falling from a 4-story building at the tender age of four. The resounding praise and worship melody, "Heaven Is Loud," gives listeners a vivid perception of the celestial realm. "Still Here," is a battle cry that declares, "If the devil could kill me, he would have done it by now!" Greene declares, "I feel like David in the face of Goliath. There is no devil that can triumph over me. When God allows you to overcome death, you're clothed in a supernatural boldness." "The More," highlights the artistry of other anointed artists and producers, such as Ramon "Drum-Ducer" Gaskin, Mali Music, Joe Porter, and Lost Identity.

Eugene Weekly : Endorsements : 5.6.10
Archive by EW-staffPosted on 02/24/2012
Ballots arrived in most mailboxes this past weekend for candidates, local measures and statewide measures. Deadline for dropping off ballots is 8 pm Tuesday, May 18. To mail in ballots, it's best to mail them by May 14. Candidates in nonpartisan races who get more than 50 percent of the votes in the May primary will appear on the November ballot as uncontested. If no candidate gets more than 50 percent, the top two will advance. Below are our selected endorsements. For races and issues not listed, please refer to your Voters' Pamphlet.
CANDIDATE RACES
U.S. Senator.
Ron Wyden (D)
Ron Wyden is a no-contest vote here in the primary. Watch out for anti-incumbent trash talk against Wyden in the fall.
Governor.
John Kitzhaber (D)
Like most Oregon Democrats, we also like Bill Bradbury but Dr. John wins our vote, in part because of his deep expertise in health care at a time when states will be leading the way. His considerable intellectual skills and experience give us hope. And he can win the general election in November.
State Treasurer.
Ted Wheeler (D)
The state treasurer is Oregon's chief financial officer and manages the investment of state money, the sale of state bonds and helps oversee management of state lands. Ted Wheeler has done such a good job with the state's money after his appointment by the governor that he deserves our continued support. This is a two-year term.
Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Susan Castillo
Susan Castillo's experience in the narrow trenches of school funding in this state best qualifies her to keep pushing for more support. Her opponent Ron Mauer claims "it is not a question of more money; it is one of transformational reform." We strongly disagree. Student-teacher ratios are about more money. Castillo is an important role model for both young women and the Latino/a community in Oregon education and Oregon politics. She wins our "Yes" vote in this nonpartisan race.
Oregon Supreme Court. Position 5.
Jack Landow
Attorneys, judges and even a former Oregon governor are lining up behind Jack Landow as their choice for the only contested position on the nonpartisan Oregon Supreme Court. Judge Landow has served on the Court of Appeals for 17 years and has earned the respect of his peers, citing both his experience and integrity.
NONPARTISAN CITY OFFICES
City Council Ward 5.
Write in somebody
Voters in north Eugene's Ward 5 don't have much of a choice in this election. Incumbent Mike Clark has served as the leading lobbyist for developers on the City Council. The right-wing Republican political consultant was caught drunk driving during his first campaign for councilor. Lucky for him, he was running unopposed. In this election Nadia Sindi, unfortunately, doesn't offer a strong campaign or relevant experience. Ward 5 is once again without a real race for City Council.
Pat Farr
This is a tough choice. Both are too con-servative on environmental issues to represent the interests of the moderate Democrats in this west Eugene ward. Farr, who works at a Republican political consulting firm, served previously on the council and has a record of serving developers and corporations over citizen interests. Opponent Rich Gaston, a billboard salesman, has done little to distinguish himself from Farr's positions. Gaston has the endorsement of Sarah Palin admirer Jennifer Solomon, the outgoing Ward 6 councilor. Farr did support some programs for the homeless and needy when he was a city councilor; we expect he will do that again.
EWEB At-Large Position. John Simpson
Back in 2008 we favored Joann Ernst over the incumbent John Simpson for EWEB Commission, Wards 1 & 8, and she unseated him. We liked Ernst's progressive community activism more than Simpson's experience, and Simpson had recently helped stack the Community Advisory Team with pro-development members. But in this race for the at-large position, Simpson's looking better, and he's picked up some important endorsements. His experience and understanding of the issues far outweigh those of his enthusiastic young opponent, biology student Nicole Hansen. We like her fresh approach, but EWEB is about to transition to a new manager and is also losing Commissioner Ron Farmer. The board needs solid expertise to deal with major issues of aging infrastructure, and the redevelopment of EWEB's surplus riverfront property.
STATE BALLOT MEASURES
Measure 68.
Bonds for capital expenditures. Yes
Measure 68 is a non-controversial amendment to the state constitution to increase school funding for buildings, computers and textbooks. The measure would broaden the definition of the "capital costs" that school districts could ask voters to support in bond measures. Measure 68 would also set up a state matching grant program for school capital improvements. Oregon has done a better job funding new jails than new schools. Kids crowded into crumbling schools with crumbling textbooks need all the help they can get.
Expands borrowing authority. Yes
Measure 69 is a non-controversial housekeeping measure to clarify that state community colleges may use a low cost borrowing tool to purchase existing buildings.
COUNTY MEASURES & CANDIDATES
Measure 20-158.
Extension Service local option. Yes
From 4-H fun to Master Gardeners to nutrition the Extension Service helps Lane County. We say yes, help the Extension restore its services. Cuts have already been made to key programs such as pesticide reporting and emergency preparedness programs. The Extension's advice keeps people fed and protects the environment and that's too valuable to lose at $.05 per $1,000 of assessed property value (in other words, the price of a couple of lattés per year). We've written extensively about the need to produce more of our food locally. More than 95 percent of what we eat is trucked in from out of the area, and that is not sustainable. The Extension Service is vital to improving our local food security.
Amends County Charter. Yes
It turns out that Lane County's Home Rule Charter doesn't make provisions to ensure that it's in compliance with "state laws or other contemporary issues." This amendment would create a committee that reviews the Lane County Charter every 10 years and proposes changes, if needed.
This amendment clarifies in the Charter that Lane County requirements for elected office fulfill the state-required qualifications for elected office, and ensures compliance with state law.
This is another Charter measure that would keep Lane County elections in compliance with state law, and clarifies the process to be followed when someone gets a majority of the votes in the primary election.
West Lane County Commissioner.
Jerry Rust
Rust offers 20 years of experience in a previous stint on the Lane County Commission, moderate positions and a personable style that will serve west Lane voters well. Jay Bozievich, an anti-government Tea Party extremist, wouldn't offer much credible opposition if it wasn't for all the campaign cash from timber and development interests.
East Lane County Commissioner.
Tom Brandt
Faye Stewart has yet to face any serious opposition for the East Lane seat, and we fantasize that next time around someone will really step up with a campaign that gives Stewart a run for his money. This time we say Tom Brandt of rural Marcola leads the pack of challengers in terms of county know-how and throw our vote to him. If we could give a second place endorsement we'd give it to Gary Kutcher. He's strong on idealism and forestry issues, but weaker on his appreciation of county policy. Let's hope Stewart does not get 50 percent plus one in the primary and we see a more substantive race in November.
Springfield County Commissioner.
Pat Riggs-Henson
Seven candidates can be found on the ballot for this nonpartisan position, including the mayor of Springfield and half the Springfield City Council. But our clear favorite is Pat Riggs-Henson, the only candidate endorsed by labor groups, the Oregon League of Conservation Voters, Sen. Bill Morrisette and Rep. Peter DeFazio. Riggs-Henson has served on the LCC Board for 14 years and has practical experience in workforce development and public/private partnerships. She understands the role of government and labor in building our economy. We are told by people who have worked with her that she knows how to prioritize issues, set agendas and run meetings efficiently. As DeFazio says, "She gets things done."

If five beach bums tried to surf their way to the classic California rock sound (The Doors, The Byrds, etc.) but instead got lost in a cloud of pot smoke and found themselves at a goth house party, you would end up with something like The Growlers. The Growlers are from Orange County; they like a little reverb on their guitars; there's a little bit of dark soul in their sound; and they do look and act baked much of the time, but that's where the similarities to those other bands end.

My classic skinny pendant is one of a kind in every way. I fuse sterling silver components onto a textured sterling back . The process starts with my vision but ultimately morphs into it's own design as the silver melts. Each pendant is unique while staying within the size parameters. This design features a malachite gemstone.
Pendant is 2" tall x 3/8" wide. Sterling silver neck chain is 20" long and adjusts down to fit our neckline, Sterling silver handmade clasp.
Did you know? Ancient Egyptians ground malachite to use in wall paintings and eye makeup. Legend has it that malachite could ward off eye infections when worn.

Zain Sudan, a unit of Kuwaiti telecoms firm Zain Group, aims to sign up an additional one million mobile subscribers in 2012 to boost its total customer base to 14 million by year-end, Reuters cites the company's chief executive Elfatih Erwa as saying. The company is targeting growth outside of the capital Khartoum, but Erwa said that earnings gains will be offset by weaker operating margins due to higher taxes and a growing economic crisis. In December 2011 the Sudanese government introduced a new tax on telecoms operators to make up for the loss of oil revenue from newly independent South Sudan. Sales and services taxes for telecoms firms were increased from 20% to 30%, while a tax on profits was hiked from 15% to 30%; Erwa said that Zain has added the sales tax to its tariffs, but fierce competition meant it could not offset the profit tax increase with further price rises. Last year Zain Sudan began dividing its operations into two units after the South seceded in July 2011, but has yet to agree a licence fee with the newly independent country.

Do Facebook photographs inspire a desire for weight loss?
One in five of us will apparently be inspired to lose weight after seeing ourselves tagged in an unflattering Facebook photo or holiday snap. Do such snaps, shared with all your friends, prompt you to get in shape?
Unflattering snaps of me are already a source of conflict between me and my husband. I grumble there aren't any pictures of me while he rightly counters that the reason is that I delete them all from the camera's memory card.
Policing our own snaps is relatively easy, but I have a number of friends – you know who you are – who snap me with their smartphones and upload the images to Facebook. The first time I see these pictures is when they pop-up on my Facebook wall.
Getting summer ready or Facebook ready?
The research from fitness firm Fitbit shows that being shamed on Facebook is more likely to inspire weight loss (20%) than squeezing into a yellow polka dot bikini (17% say getting into summer swimwear inspires weight loss), while 16% lose weight to fit into a summer frock.
Have these snaps inspired me to a nip and tuck, crash diet or even a facelift? No. Certainly no more so than the pictures my husband's taken. However, the research shows that 14% of us lose weight to please our partners. Sadly, only 11% do so on the advice of healthcare professionals.
My way of dealing with these snaps is often to hit the de-tag button, as do a third of those surveyed by Fitbit.
This stops photographs showing up on my wall or appearing in searches but, sadly, it isn't the same as deleting them. The pictures are still there despite the EU Commissioner calling on internet companies to establish a right to be forgotten.
Sorry if that is rather off-topic Sarah.
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. I'm not proud to admit it, but Facebook pictures that I hadn't vetted first were one of my main motivators for weight loss. After I'd seen one too many photos off me on Facebook, I finally started a diet and lost over three stone.
Ok, so there are always better reasons to lose weight, but maybe it's a good thing that bad pictures spur people on to lose weight? On the other hand, it's not always nice to know that you have very little control over the photos people post of you online.
Before I deleted my facebook account over a year ago, there were some truly dreadful pictures of me on there, but hey, that's part of my personality.
If you can't accept that you aren't perfect, then you're going to struggle to accept anyone else. Facebook in my opinion depicts the exact opposite of who you are. The most ovine of my friends are on facebook with profiles that make them look like superstars, but I know the reality….
I couldn't care less – I am happy with my lifestyle and happy with my appearance – If someone is so insecure that a photograph causes them discomfort – I suggest they consult someone.
Hi FE, which picture are you referring to?
