A $125,000 settlement has been reached in a discrimination lawsuit against a Kansas-based staffing company.

The lawsuit was filed against the Spencer Reed Group, LLC, by a 55-year-old white employee who claimed that she was subjected to harsher working conditions because of her age and race.

She claimed that she was given more work than her co-workers and was forced to provide reports on a weekly basis instead of monthly like the other employees. Also, the lawsuit stated that the plaintiff’s bosses often yelled and belittled her in front of the other employees.

As part of the settlement, the company will provide equal employment opportunity training and will post anti-discrimination notices. Staff Report, Kansas City Info Zine 06/13/2010

The New York Law Journal (6/7, Walder) reports, “A man who says he contracted a sexually transmitted disease after his wife had an affair with her allegedly infected psychiatrist can bring a negligence action against the doctor, a state judge has ruled.

The man, Carl Levine, claimed that Dr. Robert Werboff had a duty to warn him that he had herpes simplex before having unprotected sex with Levine’s wife.

Looking to ‘common concepts of morality, logic, and … the social consequences of imposing the duty,’ Westchester County Supreme Court Justice Nicholas Colabella agreed that Werboff owed a reasonable duty of care to Mr. Levine.”
