A bridge on a prominent public roadway in the city of Springfield, Ohio, was deteriorating and in need of repair. The city posted notices seeking proposals for an artistic bridge design and reconstruction. Bridges by Madison LLC, owned and managed by Madison Mason and his wife, May Mason, decided to submit a bid for a decorative concrete project that incorporated artistic metalwork.

A bridge on a prominent public roadway in the city of Springfield, Ohio, was deteriorating and in need of repair. The city posted notices seeking proposals for an artistic bridge design and reconstruction. Bridges by Madison LLC, owned and managed by Madison Mason and his wife, May Mason, decided to submit a bid for a decorative concrete project that incorporated artistic metalwork.

The city selected their bridge design and awarded them the contract for a commission of $184,000. Bridges by Madison and Hand then entered into an agreement to work together on the bridge project. Bridges by Madison agreed to install and pay for concrete and structural work, and Hand agreed to install the metalwork at his expense. They agreed that overall profits would be split, with 25 percent to Hand and 75 percent going to Bridges by Madison. Hand designed numerous metal pig sculptures that were incorporated into colorful decorative concrete forms designed by May Mason, while Madison Mason performed the structural engineering. The group worked together successfully until the completion of the project. Suppose Hand had entered into an agreement to rent space in a warehouse that was close to the bridge so that he could work on his sculptures near the location at which they would eventually be installed. He entered into the contract without the knowledge or consent of Bridges by Madison. In this situation, would a court be likely to hold that Bridges by Madison was bound by the contract that Hand entered?

Yes – when they agreed to work together, this implied that they would agree to be liable for each other’s contracts. Yes – they were all working together for the same project goal No – because joint ventures have less implied and apparent authority to bind their venture than partners do to bind their partnership No – because Bridges by Madison did not know of the contract

Summer Moon is on the board of directors of Do Be Yoga, Inc., which owns a string of yoga studios in Ohio. Moon owns 15 percent of the Do Be Yoga stock and she is also employed as a day care teacher at one of the studios. After the July financial report showed that Do Be Yoga’s day care division was operating at a substantial net loss, the board of directors, led by Marty McBoss, discussed the possibility of terminating the day care operations. Moon successfully convinced a majority of the board that the day care division was necessary to market to the studio’s mostly female clientele. By October, the day care divisionâ s financial losses had risen. The board hired a business analyst, who conducted surveys and determined that the day care operations did not significantly increase membership. A shareholder, John James, discovered that Moon owned stock in KiddieStuffs, Inc., the company from which Do Be Yoga purchased its day care equipment. James notified McBoss, who privately reprimanded Moon. Shortly thereafter Moon and Sunny Sun, who owned 37 percent of Do Be Yoga stock and also held shares of KiddieStuffs, voted to replace McBoss on the board of directors. What duties did Moon, as a director, owe to Do Be Yoga?

Neena, an African American woman, was hired by The Scandal Show to be a costumerâ s assistant for their evening broadcast. One of her essential job duties was to shop for specific styles for the hosts so that they would look professional. She had to take detailed measurements and purchase and alter clothing for each episode of the news. The hosts then tried on different outfit combinations in order to find the best look. During these try-on sessions, the three male hosts told lewd and vulgar jokes and made sexually explicit comments and gestures. They often talked about their personal sexual experiences and fantasies during various stages of undress as Neena tried to ensure clothing fit. During the fittings, Neena never complained that she found the hostsâ conduct offensive. After five months, Neena was fired because she could not alter the clothing fast enough to keep up with the demands of the evening hosts. She filed a suit against The Scandal Show, alleging sexual harassment and claiming that her termination was based on racial discrimination. When Neena was hired, she was told that alteration speed was extremely important to the position. At the time, she maintained that she was an experienced and extremely fast seamstress, so her alteration speed was not tested. It later turned out that Neena had never worked with the type of

She filed a suit against The Scandal Show, alleging sexual harassment and claiming that her termination was based on racial discrimination. Neenaâ s sexual-harassment claim is based on the hostile working environment created by the hostsâ sexually offensive conduct at the fittings that she was required to attend. The hosts, however, argue that their behavior was essential to the â creative processâ of preparing for the evening show which routinely covered sexually charged topics associated with celebrity scandals. Which defense discussed in the chapter might The Scandal Show assert using this argument?

There is no defense they could assert

They could claim that they treated male and female employees the same They could assert that the explicit language was a business necessity in preparing for the evening show They could assert that such behavior is common and expected in working in TV

In May 2018, several employees of Sofa Queen, Inc., a furniture manufacturer with 250 employees, formed the Sofa Queen Employees Union (SQEU). In June, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) conducted an election that showed that a majority of Sofa Queen employees supported the union. SQEU began bargaining with management over wages and benefits. In January 2019, Sofa Queen management offered SQEU a 1 percent annual wage increase to all employees with no other changes in employment benefits. SQEU countered by requesting a 3 percent wage increase and an employee health- insurance package. Sofa Queen management responded that the 1 percent wage increase was the companyâ s only offer. SQEU petitioned the NLRB for an order requesting good faith bargaining. After meeting with an NLRB representative, Sofa Queen management still refused to consider modifying its position. SQEU leaders then became embroiled in a dispute about whether SQEU should accept this offer or go on strike. New union leaders were elected in July 2019, and the employer refused to meet with the new SQEU representative, claiming that the union no longer had majority support from employees. In August 2019, a group of seven Sofa Queen carpenters began feeling ill while working with a new adhesive used in creating coffee tables. The seven carpenters discussed going on strike without union support. Before reaching agreement, one of the carpenters, Faith Faintly, became dizzy while working with the adhesive and walked out of the workplace. How many of Sofa Queen’s 250 employees must have signed authorization cards to allow SQEU to petition the NLRB for an

Jon Snow saw a local TV dealerâ s magazine advertisement offering a Sony 77â Smart 4k Ultra High Definition TV for $3,399. When she went to the shop, however, she learned that the Sony model had been sold out. The salesperson told Jon that he still had the higher-end LG TV in stock for $4,199 and would sell her one for $3,899. Jon was disappointed but decided to purchase the LG model. When Jon said that he wished to purchase the TV on credit, he was directed to the dealerâ s credit department. As he filled out the credit forms, the clerk told Jon, who is an Asian American, that he would need a cosigner to obtain a loan. Jon could not understand why he would need a cosigner and asked to speak to the store manager. The manager apologized, told him that the clerk was mistaken, and said that he would â speak toâ the clerk. The manager completed Jonâ s credit application, and Jon then took the TV home. Seven months later, Jon received a letter from the manufacturer informing him that a flaw had been discovered in the TVs wifi system and that the model had been recalled. Did the dealer engage in deceptive advertising?

Yes, a reasonable customer would show up at the store expecting the advertised item to be available Yes, this is bait and switch
