Glencore Worker Must Arbitrate Pregnancy, Harassment Claims
Title VII claims are subject to arbitration. Erin Murphy, a Glencore worker, alleged that she was not granted a promotion because she was a woman and pregnant. Murphy claims female employees at the company are treated like second class citizens who are constantly subject to crass and sexually-fueled behavior. Murphy attempted to bring her case to court through the anti-bias law in arbitration stating that Title VII claims are “non-arbitrable,” however the court denied her claim.
