Case

Examples

Race Discrimination Dispute

An African-American employee filed a race discrimination claim against a security company, asserting that he was denied a well-earned promotion and paid less than a non-minority colleague with less experience. Following an initial mediation session and follow-up negotiations, both parties reached a satisfactory resolution, avoiding prolonged litigation.

Retaliation
& Whistleblower Dispute

A healthcare practitioner accused a medical facility of wrongful termination in retaliation for exposing alleged unethical and illegal conduct by its leadership. A single mediation session provided a forum for candid discussions, leading to an amicable resolution that addressed both parties’ concerns.

Disability Accommodation Dispute

A nurse alleged that her former employer, an assisted living facility, failed to engage in the interactive process to assess her request for workplace accommodations. Through a focused and efficient one-day mediation session, the parties successfully resolved the dispute.

Sexual Harassment Dispute

A female employee brought a sexual harassment claim against a retail company, alleging that her manager withheld training and promotional opportunities after she rejected his romantic advances. With mediation facilitating direct but constructive dialogue, the dispute was resolved in one day, providing closure and a fair outcome for both sides.
