Discrimination~Retaliation
Tucker v. Faith Bible Chapel International (10th Cir., June 7, 2022) (dismissing, for lack of jurisdiction, Faith Bible’s interlocutory appeal of Tucker’s claim that he was fired for opposing alleged race discrimination at the school: under the “ministerial exception” defense, anti-discrimination laws do not apply to employment disputes between religious employers and their ministers; but Faith Bible has not
shown that decisions denying religious employers summary judgment on a “ministerial exception” defense cannot be effectively reviewed at the conclusion of the litigation)
Wages

Saxon (10th Cir., June 6, 2022) (affirming determination of the Seventh Circuit that ramp supervisors belong to a class of workers engaged in foreign or interstate commerce, and as such are exempt from the Federal Arbitration Act: the act of loading cargo onto a vehicle to be transported interstate is itself commerce)
