Karen informed her Section Manager about this incident, but the response was that she shouldn’t worry about it. She is now scared that the factory may explode at any moment.
But a federal law enforcement agency called EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) has the power to file discrimination suits against employers on behalf of alleged victims and to arbitrate claims of discrimination faced. This questions what importance and significance the employment contract holds where it’s clearly stated that all disputes are to be handled by binding arbitration. This could mean that the employer can face arbitration with the employee and litigation with EEOC that violates the original contract. Also, EEOC has the authority to decide which claim is appropriate and which claim serves public interest and I don’t agree with that 100%. In this official legal analysis paper, I would like to evaluate EEOC vs. Waffle house, which is the back bone of my paper along with my analysis and vision and EEOC’s outlook on importance of contracts with the help of their trial attorney.

Evidence showed that Allstate offered the plaintiff’s time to observe their holy day but they would have to work another day.
DeStefano, a group of city firefighters in New Haven, Connecticut claimed that the city discriminated against them in consideration of promotions. This group of firefighters, nineteen of which are white and one Hispanic, all met the requirements of a test for promotions into managerial roles. The city overthrew the test stating that they were worried a lawsuit might happen due to the fact that none of the black firefighters achieved high enough test scores to be considered for a promotion. The twenty firefighters that passed made a claim they had been refused for promotions because of their race. After several hearings and test certifications a decision was reached that the test did not create an adverse impact and were accurate assessments of firefighter’s qualifications as related to the job.

The Supreme Court ruled that such standards, even though applied equally to all employees, were discriminatory because (1) they had an adverse impact on a protected class (African Americans) and (2) Duke Power was unable to show that the standards were related to subsequent job performance.

Although the employee voluntarily resigned after the policy change, the
And members of groups excluded by preferential treatment programs today will demand tomorrow to be compensated for opportunities denied them.
