Based on the information given in the case study, it is safe to assume that Louis Lane Cosmetics Company is only interested in hiring women for this particular position. Hence, men are being discriminated and excluded from the chance of being equally considered for this position on the bases of education and prior job experience. Ben Smith will file his claim under disparate treatment. This is a type of discrimination in which differing treatment of individuals occurs, where the differences are based on individual's’ race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or disability status. In other words, an individual cannot be held to different standards when being considered for a hiring, promotion, training, transfer, compensation.
As an employer, positive steps could have been advanced by key decision makers to properly solve the issue of unsatisfactory latrine accommodations for its female employees. Employment Law: Lunch v. Freeman I am not particularly surprised by this outcome because Title VII allows for a broad interpretation of its protections afforded to specific classes of employees. It would be impossible to think of every type of discriminatory action in the workplace, and then provide specific laws against them. It is clear that an unsanitary unit would affect female employees different from male employees simply due to anatomical differences. Having said that, it was proven that female employees were limited
Two months later, the union submitted a formal letter to the company stating the company’s response to the handwritten request was unsatisfactory and the union would proceed with arbitration. The company argues that the union did not go through the agreed upon appropriate channels for communication of requests and the claim in invalid; the union argues that they are still entitled to file for arbitration despite not following the agreed upon and binding rules for requesting arbitration. 1. Assess the argument that the parties in the past have agreed to extend time limits. According to both parties, time limits have been extended in the past without incident.
Any reports before the 1st October 2010 the Equality Act cannot help resolve the matter. Instead the victim will have to go to a legislation Act that was apparent at the time. The Act was brought in to prevent discrimination in a work place and bring the Sex discrimination Act 1975, Race relations Act 1976 and the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 together into one single Act, called the Equality Act 2010 or the Equal Opportunities Act 2010 (Gov.Uk, 2013). The equal opportunities legislation comes from the equality Act 2010. It is a law that has been put into place to prevent any discrimination against; age, sex, race, disabilities, religion, gender and sexual orientation in a work place or in society generally.
She however, failed to get the promotion. According to the bank’s claims, Lia lacked adequate English skills to calm irate customers. As a result Lia Lee filed a law suit with the allegation that the Federal and State bank denied her a promotion due to her accent. As a judge, I wouldn’t rule in favor of the plaintiff on the basis of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. While the Civil Rights Act of 1964 does forbid job discrimination based on an individual's "national origin," the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on March 6, 1989 ruled that the act is not violated if an employer refuses to hire someone whose accent "interferes materially" with their ability to perform a job.
It could have been unethical to go after hours the finding would have been the same if they were within business hours, there just would have been witnesses. So for Sampson to to file suit stating violation of her rights she wold have to prove that there was no probable cause for the search and seizer of those files. Sampson can not possible do that because the argument would arise that the probable cause would be the former superintendent and the current (Sampson) were being investigated also Sampson was filing lawsuit and those files could have helped her win her case. If Sampson would have been new to the position and the previous one had done nothing wrong, and maybe no investigations were happening then it could have been looked at as her Fourth Amendment right would have been violated. Her case for the 14th Amendment would be upheld but the Fourth Amendment would be dismissed as well with all the others.
The legislation made it unlawful for an employer to refuse to hire or discharge any person due to his race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Title VII of the act created the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to implement the law. Today, I feel as though people still discriminate on both sides of employment opportunities. Many women are paid less than men who do the same exact work. Even though there is a law preventing this, it still happens.
Associate Level Material Assumptions and Fallacies Write a 150- to 200-word response to each of the following sets of questions: What are assumptions? How do you think assumptions might interfere with critical thinking? What might you do to avoid making assumptions in your thinking? Assumptions are, in logic, a proposition that is taken for granted. For example, if I were to be at workd and a new employee walked in wearing the wrong work attire, I would immediately think that she is not going to be a good employee simply because she did not wear the outfit that she was told to wear.
In my opinion, Burns & McCallister’s policy for certain cultures with regard to women partners is not fully appreciated. If doing business in certain cultures that the traditional idea of women’s lower work status is stubborn, the company still can place women employees with the work ability in other management positions or in other countries, but not just clerical work to be assigned. Although Civil Right Act 1991 apply to U.S. citizens employed in foreign countries by American-owned or American-controlled employees, Burns & McCallister chooses to apply the policy that prevents women to negotiate account with client and only let them perform clerical help in certain countries may not violates federal employment discrimination laws. First of all, Burns & McCallister is an international firm, and they may hire local employees to preform clerk works in the countries where they maintain business operation. Different cultures perceive gender status differently, thus sex discrimination in workplace may not apply in those cultures and U.S. federal laws cannot cover it.
Running head: EMC CONFRONTS HARASSMENT CHARGES EMC Confronts Harassment Charges D Brooks Kaplan University AB203: Human Resources Management Professor Lehne 6/13/2012 EMC Confronts Harassment Charges According to the book, the company EMC has been accused of discriminating against the women in their company. At least six lawsuits have been filed with allegations against them with 2003 being the earliest year filed in. Not only had they subjected female employees to sexual discrimination, but claims say they punished or reprehended women who complained. Claims also say women were paid lower wages, but EMC said the women were paid lower wages due to lower performance. It seems EMC has violated a few laws by discriminating against the women in their company.
