4 THE CASE STUDY: Sinclair v. Charter Communications, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS (E.D. Mo. October 21, 2013) In-house counsel liability under the MHRA Retaliation broadened Removal issues discussed
5 Sinclair v. Charter Comm s Facts asserted in Plaintiff s Petition (from Court s opinion): Sinclair was Senior Director of HR Dykhouse was GC and Senior VP Sinclair complained about age related comments and gender biased treatment by his supervisor Pfeiffer Dykhouse was assigned to manage the investigation with assistance of outside counsel As part of a restructuring, Sinclair was offered a relocation to NYC
6 Sinclair v. Charter Comm s (cont d) Sinclair was given a firm deadline of August 20 to accept or reject the relocation Sinclair requested an extension due to the pending investigation Dykhouse responded and refused to extend the deadline
7 Sinclair v. Charter Comm s (cont d) Sinclair s job was moved to NYC and another person was hired after Sinclair indicated he intended to accept the relocation Sinclair filed a Charge with the MCHR A week later, Sinclair was placed on leave and told his job would end in three months
8 Sinclair v. Charter Comm s (cont d) Sinclair filed suit in state court and named Charter and Dykhouse. Defendants removed to federal court Sinclair moved to remand Dykhouse claimed that he could not be sued as in-house counsel privilege issues, not supervisor under the MHRA District Court denied Dykhouse s motion
9 Sinclair v. Charter Comm s (cont d) Court held that no decision had been made by Missouri Courts as to whether the MHRA covers in-house counsel But the A/C privilege does not insulate counsel from all employment discrimination lawsuits Held it is possible that Missouri may impose liability on in-house counsel
10 Sinclair v. Charter Comm s (cont d) Dykhouse also claimed he was not a supervisor and thus not an employer subject to liability under the MHRA The Court rejected that claim and noted that the anti-retaliation provisions of the MHRA are exceedingly broad Again, the Court held that state law might impose liability on non-supervisors for retaliation
11 THE ADMINISTRATIVE PHASE: EVALUATION OF THE CHARGE OF DISCRIMINATION Analysis of the Charge: Are the claims covered by the MHRA? Employment discrimination? Places of public accommodation? Washington University v. MCHR Are you an employer? Attorneys - Dykhouse? Is the Charge timely?
12 WHO IS AN EMPLOYEE UNDER THE MHRA? Analysis of the Charge: Is the complainant an employee under the MHRA? Independent contractors versus employees: Howard v. City of Kan. City, 332 S.W.3d 772 (Mo. 2011) Sloan v. Bankers Life & Cas. Co., 1 S.W.3d 555 (Mo. App. 1999)
13 WHO IS A JOINT EMPLOYER? Tolentino v. Starwood Hotels, 2013 Mo. App. LEXIS 409 (Mo. App. April 2, 2013)(non MHRA) if the facts establish that the employee is employed jointly by two or more employers, i.e., that employment by one employer is not completely disassociated from employment by the other employer(s), all of the employee's work for all of the joint employers during the workweek is considered as one employment for purposes of the Act. 29 C.F.R
14 WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOU BELIEVE THE MCHR LACKS JURISDICTION? Farrow v. Saint Francis Medical Center, 407 S.W.3d 579 (Mo. 2013) MCHR required to promptly investigate Charges and determine jurisdiction If the MCHR issues a Notice of Right to Sue, it has effectively determined it has jurisdiction Any party wishing to challenge the jurisdiction of the MCHR must do so IMMEDIATELY at the Charge stage or through a Writ of Mandamus
15 WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE IN SINCLAIR? Should Dykhouse have challenged the jurisdiction of the MCHR? How would he go about doing so? Writs of Prohibition Declaratory judgment actions
16 HOW IS THE MCHR HANDLING CHARGES POST-FARROW? Increased scrutiny of jurisdiction Dismissal of Charges for lack of jurisdiction Revocation of Notices of Right to Sue that were improperly issued
17 RESPONDING TO THE CHARGE Legal Hold procedures MCHR / EEOC Investigation: How detailed will the investigation be current practice before the MCHR? Will the MCHR conduct witness interviews and what rights do you have regarding the interviews? Requiring subpoenas Challenging subpoenas
18 RESPONDING TO THE CHARGE Position Statements: how detailed should you be in your response? Responding to requests for information: should you challenge the requests?
19 MEDIATIONS DURING THE ADMINISTRATIVE PHASE Pros and cons? Can you choose your mediator?
20 A NOTICE OF RIGHT TO SUE HAS BEEN ISSUED: WHAT IS NEXT? Administrative challenges post- Farrow Proactive versus passive strategy
21 AN MHRA LAWSUIT IS FILED WHAT NOW? Jurisdictional issues Removal? Pretensive joinder of individual defendants what is an employer - Sinclair Update Legal Hold documentation
22 MCHR CLASS ACTIONS Charges must reference representation of a class Limit, Segregate or Classify prong of the MHRA Affirmative action plans under the MHRA and reverse discrimination claims
23 MHRA SUMMARY JUDGMENT Recent case offers a glimmer of hope: Reed v. McDonalds Corp., 363 S.W.3d 134 (Mo. App. 2012) (affirming summary judgment and holding that nothing in the record supports a finding that Davis was in a position directly overseeing the alleged discriminatory conduct of which Reed complains. )
