Earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court decided the case of Thompson v. North American Stainless. In a unanimous decision (Justice Elena Kagan recusing herself), the court held that Title VII's anti-retaliation provision applied to an employee who was terminated after his fiancée filed a complaint against the company.
