| Arbitration -- Labor Disputes -- Hearsay |
|
| Because they are not bound by the legal rules of evidence, arbitrators have significantly more discretion that judges to determine what will be considered admissible information. One of the greatest areas of discretion is with evidence classified as hearsay. Of course, this is also one of the areas of greatest contention; since the guidelines are much more fluid, parties in arbitration proceedings may spend a great deal of time arguing for the inclusion or exclusion of specific information.

| Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 |
|
| Although pregnancy discrimination would arguably fall under the general sex discrimination prohibition of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, courts did not always see it that way. In particular, courts ruled in the 1970s that temporary disability benefits programs that excluded pregnant women did not violate Title VII. Through an amendment to Title VII, known as the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 (PDA), Congress clearly specified that discrimination based upon pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions constitutes unlawful sex discrimination under Title VII.
