Question: Kathleen Dodge was a flight attendant for


Kathleen Dodge was a flight attendant for United Continental Holdings, Inc. (UCH). After being assigned to work in Paris, France, she became pregnant. Because UCH does not allow its flight attendants to fly during their third trimester of pregnancy, Dodge was placed on involuntary leave. She applied for temporary disability benefits through the French social security system. Her request was denied because UCH does not contribute to the French system on behalf of its U.S.-based flight attendants. Dodge filed a charge of discrimination with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), alleging that UCH had discriminated against her and other Americans. The EEOC issued a subpoena, asking UCH to detail all benefits received by all UCH employees living outside the United States. UCH refused to provide the information on the ground that it was irrelevant and compliance would be unduly burdensome. The EEOC filed a suit in a federal district court against UCH.
(a) The first group will decide whether the court should enforce the subpoena and explain why or why not.
(b) The second group will discuss whether the EEOC should be able to force a U.S. company operating overseas to provide the same disability benefits to employees located there as it does to employees in the United States.
(c) The third group will determine whether UCH should be required to contribute to the French social security system for employees who reside in France and explain why or why not.
