The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled,  in a unanimous  opinion  written by  Justice Antonin Scalia , that the fiancé of an employee who had filed a gender discrimination charge against their mutual employer was protected by the anti-retaliation provision of  Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . The Supreme Court held that Title VII’s ban on workplace retaliation against an employee who challenges discrimination also protects a co-worker who is a relative or close associate of the targeted employee.  Read the Opinion
