Questions

1. After Sam got a prominent tattoo of Mickey Mouse on his arm, he was fired by his employer, Douglas Corp. Irate, Sam sued Douglas for discriminating against people with tattoos. His complaint alleged that he was fired days after he showed his supervisor the new tattoo. Although employers cannot discriminate against tattoos that are part of an employee's religious beliefs, there is no law prohibiting discrimination against Sam's tattoo. And the Douglas employee handbook clearly stated that employees should have no visible tattoos. What will likely happen in court after Sam's attorney files the complaint?

2. When Giant, Inc., hired Kelly, it gave her an entire binder of papers to sign. Buried in the fine print was a clause requiring any future dispute between the parties to go to arbitration, employees could not be represented by a lawyer, and Giant alone would choose the arbitrators. Years later, Kelly filed a sexual harassment suit claiming that her boss fondled her. She demanded her day in court, but Giant's attorneys claim she was barred due to the arbitration clause. Will Kelly prevail?
