Carter Cleaning Company
It is true about the statement Jack Carter states about not being discriminatory to minorities and women since that is all they mostly hire. But in today’s day, since the CRA 1991, the process of filing and replying to a discrimination charge still occur depending on what the employee/applicant press charges for. The accuser pressing charges would be an employee or rejected applicant that show that an employment drill, like a test or specified questions has a disparate impact on a particular group. Disparate impact as stated on pg. 25 means, “an employer engages in an employment practice or policy that has a greater adverse impact [effect] on the members of a protected group under Title VII than on other employees, regardless of intent.” An example, is requiring a college degree for a job would have an effect on some if not most minority groups because they can’t provide degrees since they’re from different countries and know little English too. Since the new merger of the CRA 1991, it makes it easier to sue for money damages about intentional discrimination but have to provide that the employer is acting in discrimination to those individuals’ rights. Yes Carter Cleaning is covered by equal rights legislation even though they carry a handful of employees. It is due to the state and local laws are that cover these employers even when not covered by federal legislation. Local governments also spread protections to those not covered by legal legislation such as to the young community and those older than age

    This Act protects individuals from unfair labor practices such as discrimination with regards to race, sex, or religion. In addition to prohibiting employment discrimination Title VII also prohibits harassment and a hostile work environment. It was the violation of Title VII with regards to sexual harassment that facilitated the legal action of Beth Ann Faragher against her employer the Parks and Recreation Department of the City of Boca Raton, Florida. Because of the civil rights act, Faragher was able to take the city to court and share what happened to her. Unfortunately all your able to do is take people like this to court and hope for the best. But the city of Boca Raton feels that they did nothing wrong because they 're not the ones who did the offense but they are the ones who re wrote the law in that department.…

    Based on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 employers are not allowed to discriminate against a potential employee based on race, color, sex, religion, or national origin. In the Dunlap v. Tennessee Valley Authority case this title of the civil rights act was violated. An African American man named David Dunlap who gave almost the exact same answers as white candidates who got the job and who had 20 years of experience in boiler making was not chosen for any of the 10 positions available with the TVA. The issue is not only that he wasn’t hired but based on the score sheet he was highly discriminated against. When asked how many days he missed Dunlap told the employers that he never missed days unless sick or having a family emergency, two other candidates who just so happened to be white gave almost the exact same answer. On the score sheet for this question Dunlap was given a score of 3.7 while the other two potential employees were given scores of 4.2 and 5.5. Also when he was asked about how many accidents he had in the field he replied none and was given a low score but another candidate whom had at least two accidents was given a higher score than Dunlap. The issue at hand was that, his score sheet was heavily manipulated putting him in number 14 out of the 21 candidates that had applied. The top ten got hired.…

    Disparate treatment prohibits employers from treating applicants or employees differently because of their membership in a class protected by Title VII. The central issue is whether the employer's actions were motivated by discriminatory intent, which may be proved by either direct or circumstantial evidence. Disparate treatment is considered intentional discrimination and the employer may not say they are discriminating. The U.S. Supreme Court has a list of indicators that leave discrimination as the only explanation when every other explanation is eliminated: (1) The plaintiff must establish a prima facie case of discrimination; (2) the employer must then articulate, through admissible evidence, a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for its actions; and (3) in order to prevail, the plaintiff must prove that the employer's stated reason is a pretext to hide discrimination. (http://www.hr-guide.com/data/G701.htm. This is called direct method - burden-shifting. In disparate treatment cases, the employer's policy is discriminatory on its face (Bennett-Alexander and Hartman, 95). McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green 411 U.S. 792 (1973) is a case that shows disparate…

    “If an employer advertised an entry level job [that barred unemployed applicants] and in that community the Black unemployment rate was 20 percent and white unemployment rate was 10 percent, 20 percent of Blacks would be excluded from the get-go, and that could violate the civil rights law,”(Owen) This displays that the companies are aiming for black, African Americans to do their factory working or very hindering jobs for the company. The reason this is outrageous is that they expect that african americans are inferior and dumb. So they have no where else to go except the lowest paying…

    Yes, it is clear to me how and why the judge was able to include those who were not specificity directed by the company’s actions to be included in the outcome of the ruling. Title VII was put in place to help protect minorities in the workplace and those in search of employment. This Act which was passed in 1964, prohibits discriminations in regards to the process of hiring, firing, and training, promoting and disciple along with the advertisement of open positions. This Act also includes any workplace decisions that are based on an employees or an applicant’s race, gender, national origin, or religion. The Title VII Act goes as far as including hiring, pay, and the terms of employment, available training layoffs and benefits. The Local 28 Steel Metal Workers had their hiring and promotion system worded and set up so that only white males would be interested, accepted and feel comfortable in applying for the apprenticeship position along with the ability to move up the union ladder into the union and journeymen position. The goal of the apprenticeship was to find themselves in the local 28 union. This process was set to up to discourage minority’s (specifically black males) from applying. Thus the sheet metal group local 28 was not only in violation of the Title VII Act but also the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), The court system (attempted) to step in to make the sheet metal workers union of local 28 compliant with the (EEOC) and the Title VII Act without success as eighteen years the steel workers were still not compliant with the courts orders.…
