Carter v. West Publishing Co.
Case Category: Equal Employment
Trial Docket: 97-02537-CIV-T-99A (M.D. Fla.)
EE-FL-0144
Female employees of West Publishing Company filed a class action in U.S. District Court, alleging that the company issued stock to employees on a discriminatory basis, with a disproportionate amount of male employees owning stock. The employee stock program relied on a secretive and subjective process controlled solely by the CEO’s discretion, according to the complaint. While the court dismissed Title VII claims as untimely, it appears that Equal Pay Act claims were settled, though the details of the settlement are not presently available. |

Doe v. Reed is a Washington case brought by two anonymous individuals and a group that organized a petition for a referendum against the State of Washington. It concerns making public the names and contact information of individuals who signed a petition to call a referendum on a law granting extensive benefits to domestic partnerships. It challenges Washington’s Public Records Act as applied to referendums based on the First Amendment. Plaintiffs assert two counts: first that releasing information about who signed petitions for referendums in general and second in this particular case will have a chilling effect on political speech. The District Court in the Western District of Washington granted a Preliminary Injunction based on the first count alone, the Ninth Circuit reversed, and the Supreme Court affirmed the Ninth Circuit. The case now returns to the district court for consideration of count two. |

Trial Docket: 09-5456 (W.D. Wash.)
FA-WA-0001
Doe v. Reed is a Washington case brought by two anonymous individuals and a group that organized a petition for a referendum against the State of Washington. It concerns making public the names and contact information of individuals who signed a petition to call a referendum on a law granting extensive benefits to domestic partnerships. It challenges Washington’s Public Records Act as applied to referendums based on the First Amendment. Plaintiffs assert two counts: first that releasing information about who signed petitions for referendums in general and second in this particular case will have a chilling effect on political speech. The District Court in the Western District of Washington granted a Preliminary Injunction based on the first count alone, the Ninth Circuit reversed, and the Supreme Court affirmed the Ninth Circuit. The case now returns to the district court for consideration of count two. |
