Hi Team,

Please find an IRAC case brief, below. Feel free to make revisions to any and all sections. This is intended to be a first draft and discussion starter.

Mirian - were you able to determine if we need to submit (1) a case brief and presentation or (2) just a presentation?

Thanks,

Matt

Case: STAUB v. PROCTOR HOSPITAL

Issue: Can an employer be held liable for employment discrimination based on the discriminatory animus of an employee who influenced, but did not make, the ultimate employment decision?

Rule: Judgment as a matter of law; USERRA; "Cat's Paw" Theory of Discrimination

Analysis: Petitioner Vincent Staub was discriminated against by his boss (Mulally) and Mulally's boss (Korenchuk). Both of Staub's superiors were hostile against his military service and wanted to end this position with the company. Staub's job is protected under USEERA. Mulally and Korenchuk influenced the company's VP of HR and COO to fire Staub. The company is liable for employer discrimination. Although the VP of HR and COO did not discriminate against Staub, the basis for firing Staub was discriminatory. Mulally and Korechuck wanted Staub terminated based on discriminatory reasons and they influenced the termination decision.

"The employer is at fault because one of its agents committed an action based on discriminatory animus that was intended to cause, and did in fact cause, an adverse employment decision. . . . motivated by antimilitary animus that is intended by the supervisor to cause an adverse employment action, and if that act is a proximate cause of the ultimate employment action, then the employer is liable under USERRA" (Reed et al., 2013, p. 700).

Conclusion: The employer may be held liable for employment discrimination under USERRA because its agents intended to discriminate. The person who actually fired the employee is of no consequence.
