In Stanley v. City of Sanford, Florida, the U.S. Supreme Court held a disabled former employee who neither “holds” nor “desires” a job is not a “qualified individual” under the ADA and, thus, cannot sue for disability discrimination following her employer’s revocation of retiree health benefits. 

Congratulations to Hunton’s Labor and Employment, Immigration, and OSHA Practices, along with our 12 attorneys for their Chambers USA 2025 rankings!

On June 5, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled in Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services that plaintiffs alleging employment discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 are not required to meet a heightened evidentiary standard based on their majority-group status.

In a case of first impression, Bradsbery v. Vicar Operating, Inc., the California Court of Appeal held that a prospective, written waiver of meal periods for work shifts between five and six hours is enforceable.
