  • holding that a general policy promulgated by the defendant constituted the same series of transactions or occurrences
  • holding that the defendant’s conduct was basic to each plaintiff's recovery and therefore the plaintiffs were properly joined
  • concluding that a “company-wide policy purportedly designed to discriminate against blacks in employment . . . arises out of the same series of transactions or occurrences.”

  • holding, based on analogy to Rule 13(a), that Rule 20(a)'s \transaction or occurrence\ standard permits \all reasonably related claims\ to be tried together
