Philadelphia Judge Upholds Race Bias Award, Including Punitives

A federal judge in Philadelphia has upheld a jury's award of $295,000 in a race discrimination case but reduced the plaintiff's attorneys' fee requests, in part because the lawyers charged too high an hourly rate.

Schiller refused even to consider the defendant's argument that the company was shielded from punitive damages because of its good faith efforts to detect and deter discrimination.

No Overtime Pay Due NutriSystem's Phone Sales Force, Federal Judge Rules

A federal judge has rejected the claims of a group of NutriSystem sales associates who said they were cheated out of overtime pay. Because the workers are paid commissions for every order they take, the judge concluded that the company's pay scheme qualifies for the "retail commission exception" in the Fair Labor Standards Act. Court papers offered a behind-the-scenes look at strategies used to sell the leading diet plan, such as forbidding call center workers from sitting idle for more than five minutes at a time.

Further, the court ordered that any future proceedings be conducted by a judge from a different judicial district.

Chugh v. Western Inventory Service, Inc.

Since under state law, plaintiff's choice of an administrative remedy for his claim of work-related discrimination under the state Law Against Discrimination precludes him from pursuing his claim in any other forum, his LAD claim is dismissed; his Title VII claim is not precluded by 28 U.S.C. 1738 since the state Division on Civil Rights' finding of no probable cause is "unreviewed," nor is there a federal common-law rule that would give that finding preclusive effect; his 42 U.S.C. 1981 claim is precluded.
