THIS WEEK: Court Upholds Broad Injunction to Remedy FDNY Discrimination. Recent developments in the New York City Fire Department discrimination case known as the US and Vulcan Society v. City of New York may have broad implications. Last week, a three-judge panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals held that, in light of the City's "distressing pattern of limited FDNY minority hiring," broad relief ordered by the district judge to end discrimination in the FDNY was "entirely warranted." This decision includes an independent monitor in order to "oversee the FDNY's long awaited progress toward ending discrimination."
