Flagrant Violations
Stephanie your discussion response outlines the activity that an employer would do treating a protected class in disparate treatment treating them differently. Based on this explanation it is evident that the protected classes of people should be protected when employers follow different practices that violate their rights. In light, of these facts many of these protected classes are overlooked by companies and the intent of these violations are never identified. The only way for these types of violations to be identified is for better education to permeate the national workforce. Once this is accomplished the areas of concern, the protected classes will be able to bring suit for flagrant violations. In the article, “Race, Employment, and Crime:

    Dunlap Vs Tennesse Valley Authority Case Study

    The disparate impact theory requires a plaintiff to demonstrate that an apparently neutral employment practice affects one group more harshly than another and that the practice is not justified by business necessity. A prima face case is established when the plaintiff identifies a specific employment practice to be challenged; and through relevant statistical analysis proves that the challenged practice has an adverse impact on a protected group. When it comes to the case, discrimination was seen, but never affects more than one…

    Dunlap V Tennessee Valley Authority

    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.…

    EEOC Presentation Paper

    Throughout the United States history, there has been a large amount of discrimination in the workplace and no laws to protect employees. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin. If an employee feels they have been a victim of employment discrimination they can file a charge or claim with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) (Contributors, 2014). EEOC strives to protect employees that are not treated fairly by other employees or companies. After a complaint has been filed with EEOC, they will handle all the claims by following common procedures and follow all rules and regulations to ensure all cases are handled the same.…

    Disparate Impact vs Disparate Treatment Case Study

    Disparate Impact and Disparate Treatment are two examples of discriminatory treatment, but one is direct and the other is indirect. "Disparate impact" is a legal theory for proving unlawful employment discrimination. Disparate impact is the idea that some employer practices, as mater of statistics, have a greater impact on one group than on another. (Runkel, n.d.)Disparate impact is a non-intentional discriminatory action. On the other hand, "Disparate Treatment" is a basic concept in employment discrimination cases. Lawyers classify employment discrimination cases as either "disparate treatment" cases or "disparate impact" cases. Example of a disparate treatment case is, an employee claiming that the employer treated her differently than other employees who were in a similar situation. Like, Jane and Paul skip work one day; the employer fires Jane but does not fire Paul. If the reason is because Jane is female, then this is disparate treatment because of sex which would violate title VII. (Runkel, n.d.) After defining the two different types of discriminatory actions we can have a better understanding of how the two affect employee's rights.…

    MGT 434 Employment Law Legal Process Paper

    Employers must understand that the persons who evaluate and decide the outcome of employment discrimination cases (the EEOC investigator, federal or state judge, and/or jury) have keen senses of fairness and expect that employees will be treated in a fair manner. As a result, employers are exposed to substantial liability for any acts, including perceived acts, of discrimination in the workplace. Employers should take any charge of discrimination seriously and the employer must keep in mind that, at a minimum, it needs to have a legitimate, non-discriminatory reason for taking the action in question. In addition, an employer's response will be evaluated by persons who have a different perspective than the employer. What…

    Unnecessary Roughness By Derek Kreager

    More importantly, this can take away much more than just time from the student-athlete. As mentioned before, the loss of a game could distract a student-athlete from their schoolwork. Not only could a loss of a game distract them from schoolwork, but also affect their emotions negatively. Assuming that the student-athlete is competitive and devoted to their sport, a loss of a game could lead to them being angry with their teammates, or even worse, with themselves. In Derek Kreager’s article, “Unnecessary Roughness? School Sports, Peer Networks, and Male Adolescent Violence,” he discusses the negative effects that athletics has on a student-athlete. In particular Kreager mentions that athletics can cause aggression in the student-athletes especially…

    Rulemaking

    The Occupational Safetey and Health Administration (OSHA) is part of the U.S. Department of Labor. OSHA issued a "Directive" under which each employer in selected industries was to be inspected unless it adopted a "Comprehensive Compliance Program (CCP)"-a safety and health program designed to meet standards that in some respects exceeded those otherwise required by law. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States who represents the industry-objected to the Directive and filed a petition for review with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The Chamber claimed, in part that OSHA did not use proper rulemaking procedures in issuing the directive. OSHA argued that it was not required to follow those procedures because the Directive itself was a "rule of procedure." OSHA claimed that the rule did not "alter the rights or interests of parties, although it may alter the manner in which the parties present themselves or their viewpoints to the agency."…

    Griggs Vs Duke Power Disparate Impact

    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…

    Rulemaking

    According to Cornelius Kerwin, "Rulemaking is the single most important function performed by agencies of government…Rulemaking refines, and in some instances defines, the mission of every government agency. In so doing it provides direction and content from budgeting, program implementation, procurement, personnel management, dispute resolution, and other important government activities" (Preface XI). This is the foundation for the book, Rulemaking. The whole text primarily revolves around this statement. Throughout the book Kerwin's central theme is that rulemaking is the single most important function that any government agency has within its possession. Much like other admin law books he discusses how those agencies with their rulemaking powers interpret legislation and proceed forward with making policy.…

    Personal Foul Rule

    25 minutes into the game. The opposing team is on the two yard line. Two yards to stop the guy standing across from him to stop them from scoring a touchdown to put them over the top. It’s the superbowl. The player is blitzing the quarterback. He reaches across the line to plow through the offensive linemen. His hand slips and touches the player’s facemask. Now instead of being fourth down, it is an automatic first down plus the player is ejected. Why? Because he accidentally had a false start at the start of the game. Three strikes and you’re out, but now in the NFL it’s two strikes and you’re out. Roger Goodell, commissioner of the NFL had proposed during the 2015 Super Bowl that a player who has…
