Briefly:

• At Cato at Liberty, Andrew Grossman looks ahead to Tyson Foods v. Bouaphakeo, in which the Court will hear oral arguments in the upcoming Term; he urges the Court to make clear “that trial by formula is off-limits, whether a case is brought as a class action or as a ‘collective action’ under the Fair Labor Standards Act or a combination of the two.”
• At The Labor Dish, Katherine Liao discusses the Court’s recent decision in EEOC v. Abercrombie & Fitch, and she looks at the limits on the extent to which employers must accommodate an employee or job applicant’s religion.
• The editorial board of the Los Angeles Times discusses some of the reforms to the Court proposed by the group Fix the Court; it acknowledges that the “Court’s independence is essential, which is why politically motivated attacks on the court must be rejected,” but it urges the Justices to “be more open about how they do their important work.”
