The US Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favor of a police sergeant who argued her employer illegally discriminated against her by giving her an unwanted lateral job transfer. This decision makes it easier for employees to sue under federal civil rights law when they are transferred against their will, even without a demotion or pay reduction. The ruling could have wider implications for workplace discrimination lawsuits, as the frequency of such claims has increased since the Supreme Court overturned affirmative action in university admissions last year.
