Employment Law Litigation
EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT VIOLATION
Eleanor was a professor at a local university. She negotiated a two-year contract with the university. When the university refused to honor the two-year contract and attempted an early termination, attorney Morse brought suit. He negotiated an agreement providing Eleanor with the entire amount due under the terms of her contract, including health benefits, library and other academic privileges.
EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION
Samuel was a Nigerian resident of Rhode Island who was denied employment at a trucking company without just cause. Samuel hired The Law Office of Mark B. Morse when the company continued to advertise for the same job after having told Samuel the position was full. After appeal to the Superior Court, attorney Morse successfully had the decision before the Rhode Island Commission for Human Rights confirmed awarding Samuel past and future wages and benefits on the basis that the trucking company discriminated against Samuel on the basis of his national origin.
EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION
Laurie, the only female employed in the copy room of a printing company, alleged she was the victim of a hostile work environment and sexual harassment that made her working conditions intolerable.
