3) For employers, passage of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 meant that virtually any employment decision could be challenged by an employee or applicant who falls within the Title VII categories.

 

Answer:  TRUE

Explanation:  Title VII prohibits discrimination in hiring, firing, training, promotion, discipline, or other workplace decisions on the basis of an employee or applicant’s race, color, gender, national origin, or religion. Included in the prohibitions are discrimination in pay, terms and conditions of employment, training, layoffs, and benefits.

4) Undocumented workers are not protected by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

 

Answer:  FALSE

Explanation:  Undocumented workers also are covered by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but after the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2002 ruling in Hoffman Plastic Compounds, Inc. v. NLRB, the EEOC reexamined its position on remedies for undocumented workers. The EEOC said that employment discrimination against undocumented workers is illegal, and they will not ask employees their status in handling their discrimination claims, but Hoffman affected the availability of some forms of relief, such as reinstatement and back pay for periods after discharge or failure to hire.

5) The deadline for a non-federal employee to file a claim under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is 36 months after the discriminatory event.

 

Answer:  FALSE

Explanation:  Nonfederal government employee claims must be filed within 180 days of the discriminatory event, except those involving 706 agencies. For federal employees, claims must be filed with their employing agency within 45 days of the event. In a significant U.S. Supreme Court case, National Railroad Passenger Corp. (Amtrak) v. Morgan, these deadlines were made a bit more flexible by the Court for harassment cases.

Answer:  FALSE

Explanation:  The Civil Rights Act of 1991 extended Title VII’s (the Civil Rights Act of 1964) coverage to U.S. citizens employed by American employers outside the United States. Non-U.S. citizens are protected in the United States but not outside the United States.

7) If an employee is not satisfied with the conclusion of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) that Title VII has not been violated (a no-reasonable-cause finding), he may take the matter to a federal district court.

 

Answer:  TRUE

Explanation:  After investigation, if the EEOC finds there is no reasonable cause for the employee’s discrimination complaint, the employee is given a dismissal and notice of rights, often known as a right-to-sue letter. If the employee wants to pursue the matter further despite the EEOC’s conclusion that Title VII has not been violated, the employee is now free to do so, having exhausted the administrative remedies of the EEOC. The employee can then bring suit against the employer in federal court within 90 days of receiving the notice.

8) If an employee files a lawsuit against their employer after exhausting their administrative remedies, the case is handled by the court as if there had not already been a finding by the EEOC.

 

Answer:  TRUE

Explanation:  If the EEOC originally found no cause and issued the complaining party a right-to-sue letter, the employee can take the case to court, seeking judicial review. Title VII requires that courts accord EEOC decisions de novo review Under de novo review, the case is handled entirely as if it were new, as if there had not already been a finding by the EEOC. Employees proceeding with a no–reasonable-cause letter are also free to develop the case however they wish without being bound by the EEOC’s prior determination.

9) With the passage of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Reconstruction Civil Rights Acts were no longer available as a means to pursue a claim of discrimination based on race.

 

Answer:  FALSE

Explanation:  The three post–Civil War statutes are now codified as 42 U.S.C. sections 1981, 1983, and 1985 (together known as The Reconstruction Civil Rights Acts). They prohibit discrimination on the basis of race in making and enforcing contracts; prohibit the denial of civil rights on the basis of race by someone behaving as if they are acting on behalf of the government (called under color of state law); and prohibit concerted activity to deny someone their rights based on race. Sections 1981 and 1983 are the laws most frequently used in the employment setting if a claim is not brought using Title VII. Since Title VII is part of a comprehensive statutory scheme to prohibit race and other discrimination, it is the preferred method of enforcing employment discrimination claims.

Explanation:  If the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) finds there is no reasonable cause for an employee’s discrimination complaint, the employee is given a dismissal and notice of rights, often known as a right-to-sue letter. If the employee wants to pursue the matter further despite the EEOC’s conclusion that Title VII has not been violated, the employee is now free to do so, having exhausted the administrative remedies of the EEOC.

11) If the parties involved in a workplace discrimination case reach an agreement through mediation, that agreement is as binding as any other settlement agreement.

 

Answer:  TRUE

Explanation:  If the parties in a workplace discrimination case choose to mediate, during mediation they will have the opportunity to present their positions, express their opinions, provide information, and express their request for relief. If the parties reach an agreement, that agreement is as binding as any other settlement agreement.

13) The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits:

1.   A) industrialized nations from forming a free trade association among themselves.

2.   B) employees from participating in labor unions.

3.   C) foreign trade with less developed countries.

4.   D) discrimination relating to employment, education, and public accommodations.

 

Answer:  D

Explanation:  The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination in education, employment, public accommodations, and the receipt of federal funds on the basis of race, color, gender, national origin, and religion. Although several categories of discrimination are included in the law, it was racial discrimination that was truly the moving force for its enactment.

14) In Brown v. Topeka Board of Education, the U.S. Supreme Court:

1.   A) passed a law to establish the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

2.   B) struck down the doctrine of separate but equal educational facilities.

3.   C) declared affirmative action to be a form of illegal reverse discrimination.

4.   D) for the first time recognized the business necessity defense.

 

Answer:  B

Explanation:  The doctrine of separate but equal educational facilities had fallen 10 years before the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964, with the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1954 decision in Brown v. Topeka Board of Education. However, states were still fighting the change in any number of ways, from closing down public schools completely, to creating organizations like the White Citizens Council and the Mississippi Sovereignty Commission, a state agency of the 11 southern states specifically created to preserve Jim Crow, to using public revenue to fund all-white private schools established after the Supreme Court’s decision.

She contacted the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to file a discrimination claim. In the context of employees covered under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which of the following is true?

1.   A) Sally’s claim will be investigated by the EEOC as her discrimination claim is against an American employer.

2.   B) Sally’s claim cannot be filed with the EEOC because the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is in charge of employment discrimination against non-U.S. citizens.

18) Justin was employed as an auto mechanic with Madison & Sons Auto Shop. Mr. Madison employed 20 mechanics in each of his facilities in Denver, Colorado. Justin was the only African-American mechanic and had been employed by Mr. Madison for approximately nine years. He applied for a promotion to chief mechanic on four separate occasions and each time, the promotion was given to a white male with less seniority and less experience. After being denied the promotion for the fifth time, Justin filed a discrimination claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Justin’s employment was terminated by Mr. Madison after the EEOC contacted Mr. Madison concerning the claim. Which of the following will hold true in this scenario?

1.   A) Mr. Madison cannot be held liable because Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 covers only employers with more than 50 employees.

2.   B) Mr. Madison can use the bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) defense to protect himself against Justin’s discrimination claim.

3.   C) Mr. Madison may be found liable for violation of the antidiscrimination and the antiretaliation provisions under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

4.   D) Mr. Madison cannot be held liable because Justin is an at-will employee.

 

Answer:  C

Explanation:  Mr. Madison may be found liable for violation of the antidiscrimination and the anti-retaliation provisions under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 applies to all private employers employing 15 or more employees, and to federal, state, and local governments. Title VII includes anti-retaliation provisions. It is a separate offense for an employer to retaliate against an employee for pursuing rights under Title VII.

1964.         A) be held liable for discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

1965.         B) defend itself using the ministerial exception to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

1967.         D) assert the doctrine of promissory estoppel to protect itself against Ivan’s claim.

 

Answer:  B

Explanation:  If Ivan files an employment discrimination claim against the Nashville Downtown Synagogue, the synagogue can defend itself using the ministerial exception to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The law permits religious institutions and associations to discriminate when performing their activities. The “ministerial exception” is frequently applied in employment discrimination cases involving religious institutions.

In recent years, the EEOC has adopted several important steps to try to streamline its case-handling process and make it more efficient and effective, and less time-consuming for claimants. Primary among the steps is its adoption of mediation as an alternative to a full-blown EEOC investigation.

3.   C) Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)

4.   D) Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP)

25) Under de novo review:

1.   A) the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission prohibits an employee from taking his or her discrimination case to a court.

2.   B) the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission does not issue a right-to-sue letter.

3.   C) an employee claiming workplace discrimination does not go through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s administrative process.

4.   D) an employment discrimination case is handled by a court as if it were new.

 

Answer:  D

Explanation:  Under de novo review, upon going to court, an employment discrimination case is handled entirely as if it were new, as if there had not already been a finding by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). If the EEOC originally found no cause and issued the complaining party a right-to-sue letter, the employee can take the case to court, seeking judicial review. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 requires that courts accord EEOC decisions de novo review.

26) The function of a 706 agency is:

1.   A) to act as an enforcement agency for state fair employment practice laws (these generally track Title VII).

2.   B) to handle discrimination claims of federal government employees.

3.   C) to process claims of discrimination for the EEOC under a work-sharing agreement.

4.   D) Both A and C

 

Answer:  D

Explanation:  Since most states have their own fair employment practice laws that track Title VII, they also have their own state and local enforcement agencies for employment discrimination claims. Most of these agencies contract with the EEOC to act as a 706 agency (named for the section of the law that permits them). On the basis of a work-sharing agreement with the EEOC, these agencies receive and process claims of discrimination for the EEOC in addition to carrying on their own state business.

1.   A) Information disclosed in the mediation process is confidential – it is not even disclosed to EEOC employees.

2.   B) Mediation is only available in the beginning stages of the claim.

3.   C) The decision to participate in mediation is voluntary for both sides.

4.   D) A decision reached after mediation is binding.

 

Answer:  B

Explanation:  Primary among the steps is its adoption of mediation as an alternative to a full-blown EEOC investigation. If a case is determined appropriate for mediation, both parties are sent letters and the decision to participate is voluntary for both parties. The EEOC has expanded its mediation program to allow a request for mediation at any stage of the administrative process, even after a finding of discrimination has been issued. If the parties choose to mediate, any information disclosed is not to be revealed to anyone, including EEOC employees. If the parties reach agreement, that agreement is as binding as any other settlement agreement.

3.   C) stronger penalties for employees filing false claims.

4.   D) additional bases for a claim of discrimination including weight and hair color.

Explanation:  The Civil Rights Act of 1991 also added jury trials to Title VII. From the creation of Title VII in 1964 until passage of the 1991 Civil Rights Act 27 years later, jury trials were not permitted under Title VII. Jury trials are now permitted under Title VII at the request of either party when compensatory and punitive damages are sought.

Explanation:  After appropriate investigation, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) makes a determination as to whether there is reasonable cause or no reasonable cause for an employee to charge the employer with violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. If the EEOC finds there is no reasonable cause for the employee’s discrimination complaint, the employee is given a dismissal and notice of rights, often known as a right-to-sue letter.

2.   B) Chen has 180 days after he receives a favorable letter of recommendation from the EEOC to sue his employer in federal court.

3.   C) Chen has 90 days after he receives a right-to-sue letter from the EEOC to sue his employer in federal court.

4.   D) Chen has no right to pursue his complaint further.

 

Answer:  C

Explanation:  Chen has 90 days after he receives a right-to-sue letter from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to sue his employer in federal court. Despite the EEOC’s conclusion that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 has not been violated by an employer, if an employee wants to pursue his or her discrimination complaint further, the employee is free to do so, having exhausted the administrative remedies of the EEOC.

31) The main reason why few file discrimination claims under The Reconstruction Civil Rights Acts is:

1.   A) the statute of limitations is shorter.

2.   B) the courts are clogged with these types of claims, so it is difficult to get a timely hearing.

3.   C) a claimant generally needs assistance of an attorney, so there can be significant costs involved.

4.   D) damage recovery is typically more limited than under Title VII.

 

Answer:  C

Explanation:  Sections 1981 and 1983 are the laws most frequently used in the employment setting if a claim is not brought using Title VII. Since Title VII is part of a comprehensive statutory scheme to prohibit race and other discrimination, it is the preferred method of enforcing employment discrimination claims. Employees bringing claims under Title VII go to the EEOC to file their claim and do not have to pay. Employees bringing claims under the post–Civil War statutes are on their own and mu st go to an attorney and must pay. On the other hand, the statute of limitations for the post–Civil War statutes is longer than under Title VII. In addition, the damages under section 1981 are unlimited, unlike those under Title VII that have caps.

32) If the parties involved in an employment discrimination case choose not to mediate the charge or if the mediation is not successful, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC):

1.   A) refers the case to a 706 agency.

2.   B) investigates the complaint by talking with the parties and other witnesses.

3.   C) mandates the employer to pay compensatory damages to the employee.

4.   D) issues a right-to-sue letter to the employer.

 

Answer:  B

Explanation:  If the parties involved in an employment discrimination case choose not to mediate the charge or if the mediation is not successful, the charge is referred back to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for handling. The EEOC investigates the complaint by talking with the employer and employee and any other necessary witnesses, as well as viewing any documents or even visiting the workplace.

33) Which of the following is a disadvantage of a mandatory arbitration clause in an employment contract?

1964.         A) The employees have the disadvantage of essentially having the courts closed to them for cases under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

1965.         B) Employers suffer from having more number of discrimination cases in court.

1966.         C) The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is prevented from pursuing victim-specific relief for an employee.

1967.         D) The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is prohibited from bringing its own enforcement action against an employer.

 

Answer:  A

Explanation:  Mandatory arbitration agreements are entered into by employees with their employers when they are hired and stipulate that any workplace disputes will be disposed of by submitting them to arbitration rather than to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the courts. A mandatory arbitration clause means that while employers gain the advantage of having fewer cases in court, employees have the disadvantage of essentially having the courts closed to them for cases under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

34) Gerald was hired by the Spectacular Tropical Aquarium (STA) and agreed to resolve any disputes arising out of his employment through arbitration. Even though Gerald was performing his job efficiently, he was fired when he became a Rastafarian. Without waiting for the results of the arbitration, Gerald filed a discrimination complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The EEOC quickly filed a lawsuit on his behalf. STA moved to have the EEOC’s lawsuit dismissed on the grounds that Gerald signed a valid mandatory arbitration agreement. In this scenario, the EEOC:

1.   A) cannot bring an enforcement action against STA because Gerald did not wait for the arbitration results.

2.   B) can bring its own enforcement action against STA despite Gerald’s agreeing to arbitration.

3.   C) cannot bring an enforcement action against STA because Gerald is an at-will employee.

4.   D) can bring an enforcement action against STA as EEOC claims cannot be the subject of mandatory arbitration in any case.

 

Answer:  B

Explanation:  In this scenario, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) can bring a lawsuit enforcement action against Spectacular Tropical Aquarium (STA) despite Gerald agreeing to arbitration. The EEOC claims can be the subject of mandatory arbitration, but this does not prevent the EEOC from bringing its own enforcement action against an employer and even asking for victim-specific relief for an employee.

35) As part of its hiring process, TE Electronics requires new employees to sign an agreement that requires arbitration in the event of any employment dispute. Jack applied and was hired by TE last summer. On his first day of employment, Jack signed the mandatory arbitration agreement. Jack is an Asian-American, and was recently passed over for promotion. Jack wants to file a charge of discrimination with the EEOC, but his supervisor says he cannot because of the arbitration agreement. Which of the following is true?

1.   A) Jack can file a claim with the EEOC since Title VII does not permit enforcement of the mandatory arbitration agreement.

2.   B) The EEOC can still investigate the matter and take action against TE Electronics, but cannot obtain relief for Jack.

3.   C) The EEOC is not a party to the mandatory arbitration agreement, so it can investigate the claim and can even pursue specific relief for Jack including back pay, reinstatement and damages.

4.   D) With the mandatory arbitration agreement in place, the EEOC cannot do any investigation of Jack’s claim.

 

Answer:  C

Explanation:  In Circuit City v. Adams, the Supreme Court held that mandatory arbitration clauses requiring arbitration of workplace claims, including those under Title VII, are enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act. In EEOC v. Waffle House, Inc., the Court held that even though an employee is subject to a mandatory arbitration agreement, since the EEOC is not a party to the agreement, the agreement does not prevent the EEOC from pursuing victim-specific relief such as back pay, reinstatement, and damages as part of an enforcement action. So, the EEOC claims can be the subject of mandatory arbitration, but this does not prevent the EEOC from bringing its own enforcement action against the employer and even asking for victim-specific relief for the employee. An employer can avoid a Title VII court case by requiring mandatory arbitration of workplace claims, but still may have to contend with the EEOC bringing suit on its own.

46) Discuss the implication of laws regulating the separation of blacks and whites in the United States.

 

Answer:  Jim Crow laws were a system of racial segregation practiced virtually everywhere in the United States. The system was enforced through law, ironclad social custom, and, many times, violence.

 

The separation between the races was complete. There were laws regulating the separation of blacks and whites in every facet of life from birth to death. Laws prohibited blacks and whites from marrying, going to school together, and working together. Every facility imaginable was segregated, including movie theaters, restaurants, hospitals, cemeteries, libraries, funeral homes, doctors’ waiting rooms, swimming pools, taxicabs, churches, housing developments, parks, water fountains, colleges, public transportation, recreational facilities, toilets, social organizations, and stores. Blacks could not vote, sue whites, testify against them, raise their voice to them, or even look them in the eye or stay on the sidewalk if they passed by.

 

Separation of the races was complete under Jim Crow, and Jim Crow was only outlawed in 1964. The doctrine of separate but equal educational facilities had fallen 10 years before passage of the Civil Rights Act, with the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1954 decision in Brown v. Topeka Board of Education. However, states were still fighting the change in any number of ways, from closing down public schools completely, to creating organizations like the White Citizens Council and the Mississippi Sovereignty Commission, a state agency of the 11 southern states specifically created to preserve Jim Crow, to using public revenue to fund all-white private schools established after the Supreme Court’s decision.

47) Discuss the role of mediation in EEOC claims.

 

Answer:  The EEOC’s approach to mediation has been very aggressive in the past few decades. In response to complaints of a tremendous backlog of cases and claims that went on for years, in recent years the EEOC has adopted several important steps to try to streamline its case-handling process and make it more efficient and effective, and less time-consuming for claimants. Primary among the steps is its adoption of mediation as an alternative to a full-blown EEOC investigation. In furtherance of this, the EEOC began several different programs involving mediation. In 1999, it launched the expanded mediation program discussed in the next paragraph. In 2003, in recognition that many private sector employers already have extensive mediation programs set up to handle workplace issues, the EEOC began a “referral-back” program. Private sector employment discrimination claims are referred back to participating employers for mediation by the employer’s own mediation program to see if they can be resolved without going any further. The same year, the EEOC ushered in a pilot program to have local fair employment practice offices mediate claims on the EEOC’s behalf. In response to the EEOC’s finding that there were more employees willing to mediate than there were employers willing to do so, the EEOC instituted “universal mediation agreements,” under which employers agree to have their claims mediated by the EEOC when discrimination charges are filed.
