Abstract
Traditionally, employees rely on federal law and federal courts to protect their rights in the workplace. However, recent Supreme Court decisions have limited the ability of employees to bring employment law claims in federal court by erecting judicially constructed procedural barriers to having claims heard. This paper will examine recent Supreme Court precedent and analyze the impact those claims have on employment law and the legal rights of employees. By exploring the issues decided by the Court in Pyett, Ledbetter, Gross, Dukes, and Hosanna-Tabor, this paper will conclude that a clear trend has emerged that will limit the effectiveness of federal employment law and keep employment law claims out of the federal courthouse.
