AFFIRMATIVE ACTION: AN ASSESSMENT OF ITS CONTINUING ROLE IN EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION POLICY |
57 Albany Law Review 365 (1993) |
Affirmative action continues to be a source of controversy for many Americans. With the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1991, Congress failed once again to address the problems associated with quotas and other forms of affirmative action under Title VII. Meanwhile, the current conservative majority of the U.S. Supreme Court appears to be on a... |

BINDING ARBITRATION OF STATUTORY EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION CLAIMS |
70 University of Detroit Mercy Law Review 699 (Spring, 1993) |
A significant shift has occurred over the past two decades in labor and employment law. The importance of employees' collective rights, as enshrined in the National Labor Relations Act, once paramount, is no longer. Over the past two decades, the workplace has witnessed a steady ascendence of individual employment rights, and at least with the... |

BURDENS OF PROOF: PRESUMPTION AND PRETEXT IN DISPARATE TREATMENT EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION CASES |
78 Massachusetts Law Review 122 (December, 1993) |
In an age where employers are becoming increasingly sophisticated in covering up discriminatory practices, available proof of discrimination in the workplace usually consists of circumstantial evidence. Direct evidence of unlawful discrimination (the smoking gun) is relatively unusual. McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green is the seminal case in which... |

CAN EMPLOYMENT LAW ARBITRATION WORK? |
61 UMKC Law Review 693 (Summer, 1993) |
The workplace of the 1990's is a far more regulated environment than it was in the early part of the twentieth century. There are now a vast array of statutes and common law principles protecting workers from the point that they seek employment to their ultimate retirement, and at every stage in between. But each new legal right created for... |

CAN THE KERNER COMMISSION'S HOUSING STRATEGY IMPROVE EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION, AND SOCIAL INTEGRATION FOR LOW-INCOME BLACKS? |
71 North Carolina Law Review 1519 (June, 1993) |
The Kerner Commission placed a heavy emphasis on racial integration, calling it the only course which explicitly seeks to achieve a single nation rather than accepting the present movement toward a dual society. And, as the introductory Essay to this Symposium indicates, only in the housing area did the Commission prescribe solutions tailored to... |

EMPLOYER LIABILITY FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT: THE MORASS OF AGENCY PRINCIPLES AND RESPONDEAT SUPERIOR |
1993 University of Illinois Law Review 589 (1993) |
In 1986, in Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinsoon, the Supreme Court directed lower courts to use agency principles when determining employer liability for sexual harassment. However, reliance on agency law has not established a clear standard, but has fostered justifications for numerous standards, ranging from strict employer liability to requiring... |

During the last year of the Bush administration, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Civil Rights Act of 1991 became effective. These statutes, which have expanded both the scope of claims and the range of penalties for employment discrimination, have resulted in increased civil rights litigation in the federal courts.

FOREIGN OWNED SUBSIDIARIES AND NATIONAL ORIGIN DISCRIMINATION: CAN FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION LAW AND EMPLOYER CHOICE PROVISIONS BE RECONCILED? |
10 Arizona Journal of International & Comparative Law 507 (Fall, 1993) |
It is not impossible that there may be persons disposed to look with a jealous eye on the introduction of foreign capital as if it were an instrument to deprive our own citizens of the profits of their own industry. But perhaps there could never be more unreasonable jealousy. Alexander Hamilton, 1790 More and more foreign enterprises, particularly... |

As women entered the work force in increasing numbers during the twentieth century, employers instituted policies limiting their participation in certain work-related activities on the basis of gender or reproductive capacity.

During a job interview, the potential employer asks the female applicant whether her husband approves of her seeking the job, when she will have her next child, and how she has arranged her child care.

The Civil Rights Act of 1991 put teeth into Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by allowing victims of discrimination in the workplace to recover compensatory and punitive damages.

A gross miscalculation by management, labor and employment lawyers thirty years ago has revealed itself in today's judicial backlog. During the debates leading up to enactment of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), it was proposed that discrimination on account of race, sex, national origin and religion be added as unfair labor... |

Grounded in libertarianism and law-and-economics, its thesis is that the principles of choice and freedom of association outweigh equality and justice, justifying the abolition of private employment discrimination law and the imposition of severe limitations on public employment discrimination... |

LOST CAUSE AND FOUND DEFENSE: USING EVIDENCE DISCOVERED AFTER AN EMPLOYEE'S DISCHARGE TO BAR DISCRIMINATION CLAIMS |
9 Labor Lawyer 31 (Winter, 1993) |
Every defense lawyer's dream is to be handed a discrimination lawsuit where the employer knows it has a rock-solid reason to fire the employee, possesses documentary and other evidence to support that reason, and confronts the employee with its evidence before the discharge. The dream does not often play out in real life. No termination is perfect.... |

Suppose that an employee charges her employer with racial discrimination. If the employer subsequently discharges that employee for making the charge, the employee has a remedy under the anti-retaliation provision of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Labor arbitration has been hailed as one of the most successful innovations to result from collective bargaining. Arbitrating claims arising under a collective bargaining agreement is cheaper, faster, and less formal than litigating them in court. Furthermore, the parties control the arbitration procedure and can tailor it to meet their needs. The... |
