J. Kronstadt grants an employer's motion to dismiss an employee's allegations of wage and hour violations. An enforceable arbitration agreement exists between the parties as part of the collective bargaining agreement, therefore the court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over all of the employee's claims, and the entire action must be dismissed. The parties shall submit the claims to arbitration.

J. Coulson grants the Baltimore Police Department’s motion for dismissal of claims of race discrimination, hostile work environment and retaliation brought by a lieutenant in the department’s internal affairs section. The lieutenant alleges forced demotions and a delay in transfer to a different department, which no supervisors would discuss with him. However, all of his claims were time-barred as none of them happened within the 300 days leading up to his EEOC filing.

J. Bredar grants a manufacturing firm summary judgment following allegations of employment discrimination brought by a machinist who is Black. While the machinist cites being disciplined despite having satisfactory job performance, he reportedly consistently took unauthorized smoke and phone breaks and threatened to “whoop [supervisor’s] ass” upon receiving a written conduct warning. The machinist has failed to state a claim showing discriminatory discipline unrelated to his poor conduct, and he then quit.

J. Russo finds in favor of the senior housing and memory care facility on the former supervisor's claim that its executive director fired her because of her Spondylolisthesis, a spinal disorder in which misaligned vertebra cause pain. The decision to fire the supervisor was singularly the facility executive director's decision, which was based on information that was independently corroborated by third parties. The fact that the director was the one who directly hired the supervisor despite already knowing about her back impairment "strongly undermines any inference of discriminatory animus toward plaintiff based on her disability."

J. Wright partially grants the employer's and CEO's motion to compel discovery in the employee's sex-discrimination case alleging that the CEO sexually harassed her. The employee must supplement her discovery responses in relation to her claimed damages and to state the total amount of attorney fees incurred to date, since those are not work product and are relevant to her claimed damages. The employer's request for personnel records from a previous employer is partially granted, but denied insofar as it seeks information about an allegation that the employer has failed to confirm her employment to prospective new employers. Its motion is also granted as to the employee's medical records and personal correspondence regarding mental health, within a limited scope.

J. Wright denies an employee's motion for the preliminary approval of class action and PAGA settlement in an employment dispute. The employee and employer reached a settlement, however "the parties’ treatment of the class claims throughout this matter has been questionable, including at the settlement stage." The employee requested that the court dismiss class claims, which it did. Then the employee sought to reassert class allegations solely for the purpose of settlement, but the parties have not addressed why they are settling class claims where no class allegations are at issue and the employer has not shown why it would agree to the reinstatement of class claims. "These contradictory actions by the parties are indicative of collusion."

J. Larimer rules in part for a company accused of reducing cashiers' hours and rescheduling them for complaining that a manager drew sexually explicit pictures of them. The right to sue letter from the equal employment opportunity commission was not conclusively received by a certain date, so the complaint is not time-barred, but evidence does not indicate a second manager took part in any harassment.

J. Gesner partially denies a waste disposal and recycling firm its motion to dismiss a former salesperson’s amended complaint alleging gender and wage discrimination. Even though the salesperson, a woman, met and surpassed her sales goal of $14 million in one year, she did not receive the promised commission while her male colleagues did, whether they met their quotas or not. She has presented sufficient evidence to proceed.

J. Chuang grants a bakery its motion to dismiss allegations of race discrimination brought by a former driver who claims that after 25 years of employment, the bakery gave him less lucrative routes to the tune of a $30,000 loss per year when it hired new drivers. However, the driver, a Black man, fails to present comparisons between himself and white staff in similar positions to show differential treatment.

J. Boulee adopts the magistrate judge's recommendation and partially grants the employer's motion to dismiss the employee's age discrimination action. The employee's claims for hostile work environment, breach of contract and unjust enrichment are dismissed with prejudice. The employee's objections to the recommendation are overruled. The magistrate judge applied the proper standard of review and did not commit any error by failing to clarify whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice.

J. Stadtmueller grants summary judgment to the plumbing products manufacturer in a lawsuit from an employee claiming she was disciplined more harshly than her white coworkers and fired because she is Black. The record contains multiple instances of the employee failing to meet the manufacturer's attendance and performance standards, and based on the evidence, the legitimate issues the employer cited when firing her had nothing to do with her race.
