Tanglewood Case 5
Disparate Impact
In evaluating the recruiting and hiring practices of Tanglewood for a potential disparate impact claim, we need to look at the historical flow and concentration statistics to see if there is an adverse impact possibility. A flow statistic is when we analyze applicants to actual people selected to be hired. The concentration statistic, analyzes the distribution of employees in the organization to provide a proportion statistic in determining disparate impact. We will look at the proportion of white employees compared to non-white employees and white employees compared to African American employees. We will use the 4/5ths rule being that 80% of the minority groups of non-white and African Americans compared to white groups are represented for all job categories.

    Currently, Tanglewood is trying to achieve a companywide environment that mirrors their blueprint of how they ran their 10 stores in 1984.

    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…

    Case Study: Fisher II V. The University Of Texas

    The continuation of the application of affirmative action in the labor market. “Affirmative action is one of the most controversial government interventions in the labor market since the abolition of slavery.”(Jonathan Leonard) Affirmative action pertaining to the labor market takes a very different stance. Under Executive Order 11246 (part of the Civil Rights Act), “ you are not to discriminate against any employee because of race, color, religion and sex, as well as take affirmative action to ensure that there is a diversity of employees”. The contradiction of this statement is astonishing, and to have that nailed in the coffin known as our Constitution, is the ultimate blow on the use of this policy in the workplace. The fact that we must not consider race, but consider it in terms of diversity is overall a confusing concept and forced employers to establish ‘quotas’ to meet racial goals. This is very beneficial for white collar or craft jobs, where employers are hesitant to hire minorities or women because they do not believe they can handle the burden of the job. This maybe one of the only circumstances where federal pressure is advantageous, and statistics show that establishments are growing to give more job openings specially for african americans, hispanics and other minorities, decreasing its 89% white-hiring percentage. The effects of these kinds of policies are significant on a 99% confidence level or better, and have resulted in better representation in establishments(especially minority females) and also benefit companies in their own employment growth. However, these job openings are mainly in unskilled positions reducing the production of specially-skilled members of society, and basically producing only white specialties. Studied by Ashenfelter and Heckman(1976), taking african americans as an…
