    One of the issues in the case EEOC v. Target Corp. is that the EEOC alleged that Target violated the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by engaging in race discrimination against African-American applicants who were interested in management positions. It is argued that Target did not give the opportunity to schedule an interview to plaintiffs, Kalisha White, Ralpheal Edgeston and Cherise Brown-Easley, because of racial discrimination. On the other hand, it argues that Target is in violation of the Act because the company failed to retain and present records that would determine if there was reason to believe that an unlawful practice had been committed.

  • Vance V. Ball State Univ Case Study

    1212 Words  | 3 Pages

    Maetta Vance was picked on by some coworkers, and eventually, one of them got a position acting like a supervisor, while she was working for the Ball State University Banquet and Catering Division of University Dining. These coworkers were Saundra Davis and Connie McVicker. Vance and one of her co-workers, Saundra Davis, had some oral argument that ended with Davis’s slapping Vance in the head (Cornell University Law). Vance’s matter with Connie McVicker was that “Vance was told that co-worker Connie McVicker had bragged about McVicker’s family ties to the Ku Klux Klan and referred to Vance using a racial slur” (Cornell University Law). Davis complained the Ball State University about both co-workers. But, the Ball State University did not solve the problems, and did not fire Davis and/or McVicker that the university gave a written warning to McVicker and formally warned Davis, too (Cornell University Law). Then, Vance sued the Ball State University at the district court, but The district court did not satisfy Vance’s desires about the court outcomes that the university was not able to “be liable for Davis’s actions as a supervisor under Title VII because Davis did not have the power to hire, fire, demote, promote, transfer, or disciple Vance” (Cornell University Law).

  • Racial Inequality in America

    872 Words  | 2 Pages

    In today’s world, the American still has barriers to overcome in the matter of racial equality. Whether it is being passed over for a promotion at the job or being underpaid, some people have to deal with unfair practice that would prevent someone of color or the opposite sex from having equal opportunity at the job. In 2004, Dukes vs. Wal-Mart Stores Incorporation was a civil rights class-action suite that ruled in favor of the women who worked and did not received promotions, pay and certain job assignments. This proves that some corporations ignore the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which protects workers from discrimination based on sex, race, religion or national origin.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Employment Discrimination

    1105 Words  | 3 Pages

    Discrimination can be commonly found in social environments, but it is not limited to just that. Cases of discrimination can also be found, and are more common than they should be, in employment situations. An employee can be discriminated against for a variety of reasons by another employee, or sometimes a manager or supervisor, both of which are absolutely unacceptable and unprofessional from both a civil rights and a business standpoint. To protect workers’ rights, laws have been passed and enacted for the past fifty years to attempt to abolish discrimination in one of the more necessary areas of an individual’s life, the workplace. Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act is seen as the most important law in combating employment discrimination in the United States (Mallor, 1359), and is the law that kick started various anti-discriminatory agencies to help victims of workplace discrimination nationwide.

It has been always difficult to prove that a person is victim of discrimination because the incriminated acts are most of the time subtle (Varone, 2012). In 1992, in Atlanta, Texas, a black fire chief who was terminated, claimed that he was victim of racial discrimination (Open Jurist, 1996).
