    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

    The legal issue in this case is about David Dunlap the plaintiff who has been faced with discrimination on the basis of race in the interview at Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) during the employment process of this company. Mr. Dunlap is an African American man whom has worked for many years as foreman through contract for the union. He has worked as a contractor with the union at Tennessee Authority as a boiler man for over twenty years including fifteen years as a foreman. He has applied for employment at TVA numerous times since 1970 and was not once offered an interview. Mr. Dunlap has established that regardless of experience and during the hiring development, the company has allowed racial favoritism. The court has to recognize if the business is legally responsible under title VII of the civil rights act of 1964 for racial bias with intent. Mr. Dunlap has claimed the case under disparate impact and disparate treatment investigation. (Walsh, 2010)…

    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…

    Discrimination in the Workplace

    According to the United States Department of Labor - Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are approximately 120,589,850 people employed in the United States out of an estimated 330,000,000 total citizens (U.S. Department of Labor). This means that over one-third of the country’s total population is currently employed. With such a large percentage of the population in the work force, it has become necessary to incorporate laws and restrictions that protect a worker’s individual rights. Over the last 50 years there have been several historic measures taken by the United States government to protect workers from not only physically hazardous working conditions but any working environment that may be deemed ‘hostile;” be it physical or mental. One area that has drawn significant attention by lawmakers is the topic of discrimination in the workplace. Since 1963 the United States government has taken substantial steps to ensure that every American is protected from discrimination in the workplace. A few monumental actions taken by the government to protect workers’ rights include legislation such as; The Equal Pay Act of 1963, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, Sections 501 and 505 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title I and Title V of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, The Civil Rights Act of 1991, Title II of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, and the establishment of the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission, or EEOC, in 1964 to monitor and investigate cases of alleged discrimination.…

    2012). As described in the article, this experiment can provide multiple findings about discrimination: (1) it produces estimate rates of discrimination; (2) it yields evidence about the interactions that deals with discrimination; (3) it provides a vehicle for both research on and enforces antidiscrimination.
