Case 14. LGA Industries: Employing Undocumented Immigrants
David Martin was excited to start his new position as the manager of staffing, training, and development for LGA Industries, a carpet and rug manufacturer located in a mid-sized Texas town. LGA Industries had been producing well-known and high-quality carpets and rugs for the past 100 years. Over the years, its workforce had grown to just under 2,000 employees. Martin had just completed a master’s degree in Human Resource Management from the University of Texas at El Paso. In the last few years, LGA Industries had found it increasingly difficult to locate and hire employees to meet the growing demand for its products. Their traditional sources of labor were drying up as many high school graduates left the small town to seek employment in places like Dallas and Houston. The pay for unskilled jobs was $8.50 per hour. Martin learned that 45 percent of hires in the last four years consisted of immigrants from Mexico and other Latin American countries. The Latino population of the town, which had been less than 5 percent in 1990, was now about 25 percent.
Martin’s predecessor, who retired last month, had been with LGA Industries for 15 years. Martin was anxious to introduce some of the new and up-to-date HR practices he had been taught at the university. Within his first two months on the job, he was to fill five new plant positions. The company had received a large order that needed to be completed within the next six months. Given the increasing difficulty that LGA had finding employees for new positions, the company had begun using an employment agency. When Martin contacted the agency, they assured him they would have no problem sending him prospective applicants. When five candidates showed up at his office about a week later, Martin was quite impressed with how quickly the agency had responded. When he interviewed the candidates, he found it odd that they were not able to tell him much about their previous employment experience. Three of the candidates appeared to know only a few words of English. Martin decided to talk with the HR manager at LGA Industries about the candidates. He was surprised when the manager told him not too worry—the agency was quite reliable and had sent them good candidates in the past.
Martin was curious and decided to look at the files and records of previous hires. He was not able to locate the I-9 Forms for any of the newly hired Latino employees, nor could he find them on the HR database. Martin knew from his academic training and previous work experience that employers were required to complete an I-9 Form for all employees to verify eligibility for employment in the United States. When he asked the HR manager about the missing forms, Martin was told that the employment agency took care of them whenever they sourced candidates, and the forms were probably on file in their offices. About a week after the new employees were on board, Martin received an a ...

October 1st marks the beginning of the “onboarding” of new H-1B employees at many companies throughout the United States. Winning the lottery and having H-1B Petitions approved by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) were just two initial steps involved in the hiring and retaining process of talented foreign nationals in the United States.

Child poverty and homelessness are two of the most complex problems .docxTawnaDelatorrejs
Child poverty and homelessness have increased significantly in recent decades in the US. The number of children living in poverty grew from 11.6 million to 15 million between 2000 and 2015, with over 20% of children now living below the federal poverty level. Additionally, between 1-2% of children experience homelessness at some point, a number that rose due to the recent recession. Growing up in poverty puts children at greater risk of physical, cognitive, emotional and social problems. However, politicians and policymakers often disagree on the causes of and solutions to child poverty, leading to vigorous public debate.

4. THE ROBOTIC MOMENT
sherry turkle
In late November 2005, I took my daughter Rebecca, then fourteen, to the Darwin exhibition
at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. From the moment you step into
the museum and come face-to-face with a full-size dinosaur, you become part of a celebration
of life on Earth, what Darwin called “endless forms most beautiful.” Millions upon millions of
now lifeless specimens represent nature’s invention in every corner of the globe. There could
be no better venue for documenting Darwin’s life and thought and his theory of evolution by
natural selection, the central truth that underpins contemporary biology. The exhibition aimed
to please and, a bit defensively in these days of attacks on the theory of evolution, wanted to
convince.
At the exhibit’s entrance were two giant tortoises from the Galápagos Islands, the bestknown
inhabitants of the archipelago where Darwin did his most famous investigations. The
museum had been advertising these tortoises as wonders, curiosities, and marvels. Here,
among the plastic models at the museum, was the life that Darwin saw more than a century
and a half ago. One tortoise was hidden from view; the other rested in its cage, utterly still.
Rebecca inspected the visible tortoise thoughtfully for a while and then said matter-of-factly,
“They could have used a robot.” I was taken aback and asked what she meant. She said she
thought it was a shame to bring the turtle all this way from its island home in the Pacific, when
it was just going to sit there in the museum, motionless, doing nothing. Rebecca was both
concerned for the imprisoned turtle and unmoved by its authenticity.
It was Thanksgiving weekend. The line was long, the crowd frozen in place. I began to talk
with some of the other parents and children. My question—“Do you care that the turtle is
alive?”—was a welcome diversion from the boredom of the wait. A ten-year-old girl told me
that she would prefer a robot turtle because aliveness comes with aesthetic inconvenience:
“Its water looks dirty. Gross.” More usually, votes for the robots echoed my daughter’s sentiment
that in this setting, aliveness didn’t seem worth the trouble. A twelve-year-old girl was

Charles Mann is not only interested in how American societies arrive.docxTawnaDelatorrejs
Charles Mann is not only interested in how American societies arrived, developed, and
evolved, but also how they adapted to the multiple environments of the Americas. How
did indigenous Americans find ways to overcome environmental obstacles? What
techniques, attitudes, or actions did indigenous Americans share? What techniques were
unique to certain areas? Why did some communities and societies thrive in the years
before 1492 while others fell apart and disbanded into new groups or the landscape? How did scholars of the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries differ on their ideas of American Indian development?

CHAPTER ONEIntroduction
Learning Objectives
• Be able to conceptualize the “information explosion” and how it relates to the brain sciences.
• Be able to describe pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics.
• Be able to articulate the benefits of an integrative approach to psychopharmacology.
ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE READER
Some of you may begin this book with some anxiety because this is a new area for you. You may imagine that psychopharmacology is exclusively a “hard science,” and perhaps you don't think of yourself as a “hard science” kind of person. You may even feel uncertain about your ability to master basic psychopharmacological concepts. First, let us assure you one more time that our goal is to make this topic accessible to readers who are practicing as or studying to be mental health professionals, many of whom may not have a background in the physical or organic sciences. Second, we recommend to those teaching a course in psychopharmacology that, because of the rapid nature of change in the field, teaching styles that rely on memorization are of limited use in this area. We recommend helping students master basic concepts and then applying these concepts to cases. To facilitate that process, we supply cases and objectives/review questions for main sections of the book. Finally, we invite you students to join us in an incredible journey centering on the most complex organ known to humanity—the human mind and brain. We hope you can revel in the complexity of the brain and the sheer magnitude of its power. We hope you can resist the temptation to want simple and concrete answers to many of the questions this journey will raise. We also hope you learn to appreciate the ambiguous nature of “mind” and its relationship to the brain. As authors and researchers who have traveled this path before us will attest, there are no simple or even known answers to many of the questions that arise (Grilly & Salmone, 2011; Schatzberg & Nemeroff, 1998). We encourage a mixture of trying to comprehend the information while dwelling in the mystery that is the context for the information. Before moving on, we offer a mantra to help you implement this recommendation.
A MANTRA
Even though psychopharmacology is in its embryonic stage, it is a vast and complex topic. Several years ago I (Ingersoll) engaged in some multicultural counseling training with Paul Pederson. In that training, Dr. Pederson commented, “Culture is complex, and complexity is our friend.” We offer a paraphrase as a mantra for psychopharmacology students: “Reality is complex, and complexity is our friend.” We remind the reader of this mantra throughout the book. You might try saying it aloud right now: “Reality is complex, and complexity is our friend.” If you reach a passage in this book that is challenging for you or that arouses anxiety, stop, take a deep breath, and practice the mantra.
The primary audience for this book is mental health clinicians who may not have had much training in biology.

Chapter Ten
The Federal Judiciary
Brian M. Murphy
Learning Objectives
After covering the topic of the federal judiciary, students should
understand:
1. The relationship of state courts to the federal judiciary.
2. The jurisdiction of federal courts.
3. The structure of the federal judicial system.
4. The procedures of the U.S. Supreme Court.
5. The powers of the federal judiciary.
Abstract
The udicial y e i he i ed a e i a ed he d c ri e
federalism. Two court systems exist side-by-side, national and state, and
each has a distinct set of powers. State courts, for the most part, are
responsible for handling the legal issues that arise under their own laws. It
is primarily when a federal uestion is presented that the federal udicial
system can become in ol ed in a state court. therwise, state udiciaries
are generally autonomous even from one another. The Constitution
precisely outlines the types of cases that can be heard by federal courts,
yet it is almost impossible to force a federal court to hear a case that falls
under its urisdiction if the udge s wants to avoid it. The authority of
the U.S. Supreme Court has slowly grown over time, largely through the
power of udicial review. onetheless, federalism has managed to remain
a signi cant barrier against federal courts becoming too powerful. The
udicial system designed by the framers continues to survive and function
after 200 years.
Introduction
The federal judicial system is the least commonly known and least
understood branch of American government. In 2007, 78% could not
name the current Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court but 66% were
able to identify at least one of the judges on the T show American
Idol (Jamieson, 2007). Much of judicial work is conducted out of the
limelight and courts are not considered an important in uence in the daily
lives of people. It is clear the framers believed that the federal judicial
system would be the weakest of the three branches because, as Alexander
amilton wrote, it has no in uence over either the sword or the purse
(Hamilton, 1961, 465). In other words, courts cannot command an army
(or even police) to ensure that decisions are enforced or allocate money to
implement one of their rulings. Judges must depend on the other branches
in order to get anything done. According to an oft-repeated story, President
Andrew Jackson supposedly mocked a decision by Chief Justice John
Marshall with the words, John Marshall has made his decision, now let
him enforce it’’ (Schwartz, 1993, 94).
But times and the role of the federal judiciary have changed. One
scholar even concluded that the United States is now operating under a
government by judiciary’’ because the U.S. Supreme Court can revise
the Constitution by how it interprets the wording (Berger, 1997). As Chief
Justice Charles vans Hughes once uipped, e are under a Constitution,
but the Constitution is what the judges say it is’’ (Hughes, 1916, 185). .
Chapter 9 provides a discussion of the challenges of identifying ELL.docxTawnaDelatorrejs
Chapter 9 provides a discussion of the challenges of identifying ELLs’ as having a learning disability or being gifted with their lower than grade-level proficiency in English. After reading Chapter 9, write a post that addresses the following questions:
What kinds of disabilities might an ELL have?
What are the challenges of determining whether an ELL has a learning ability or is gifted?
What kinds of interventions are used once an ELL has been identified as having a learning disability?
What kinds of interventions are used once an ELL is determined to be gifted?
If you were teaching a class with some ELLs in it, what signals would you look for in the behavior or they ELLs to determine whether they might need to be tested for learning disabilities or being gifted?
How might you adapt your curriculum for an ELL student with a learning disability or who is gifted?
.
Chapter 8 -- Crimes
1. Conduct that may be a misdemeanor in one state may be a felony in another state.
2. A required element for a crime is that the criminal party voluntarily commits the prohibited act (think “gun to head”).
3. A person cannot commit a crime if the person does not know that his or her conduct is criminal (think “Honduran bony fish or short lobster).
4. The Fourth Amendment prohibits ALL government searches of businesses.
5. Traditionally, extortion involves wrongful demands made by public officials.
6. A company cannot be found guilty of a crime that is committed by its agent.
7. If an employee wrongfully keeps money that was entrusted to the employee by his or employer, the employee has committed the crime of embezzlement.
8. Government officers do not need a search warrant in order to inspect property that is in "plain view".
9. The Constitution guarantees individuals the right to a speedy trial in criminal cases.
10. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act allows a person to thwart encryption devices that copy right holders place on copyrighted material if the person has purchased the copyrighted item in question.
Chapter 9 -- Torts
11. One wrongful act may be both a crime and a tort.
12. A person is not entitled to recover for EVERY injury or loss that is caused by another person.
13. In general, tort liability will not be imposed for an involuntary act even if the act harms another.
14. Under tort law, one owes a duty to society to conform his or her conduct to a required standard (think: does society sue the tortfeasor does the “somebody done me wrong” individual plaintiff sue the tortfeasor?).
15. The U.S. government cannot be sued for harm caused by the negligence of federal employees.
16. In some states, a plaintiff may recover for emotional distress that is negligently caused by another.
17. Companies can now make commercial use of the name or likeness of celebrities without first obtaining the celebrities permission to do so because most states do not recognize the tort of invasion of the right to publicity.
Chapter 10
18.
Patents are granted by state governments, not by the federal government.
19.
Trademarks may be protected for up to three years prior to the time that they are actually used.
20. A “term” acquires a secondary meaning when, through prolonged use, the public has come to associate that term with a particular product.
21. In general, mere ideas and concepts cannot be copyrighted or patented.
22.

in evaluating Lockheed Martin's efforts.
1. What do you think about the notion presented by Terris that Lockheed's ethics program does little to prevent ethical breaches at the highest level of the organization?
2. Are the efforts put forth—such as making sure higher level executives participate in training—enough to help executives navigate what Terris calls the 'ethical minefield' faced by leadership in such an organization?
3. What are some things that could be done to address the issue related to ethics at higher executive levels of the organization?
4. Terris points out that the company's program is overly focused on individuals and that it doesn't really address group dynamics that can impact ethical situations. For instance, there can be a tendency for groups to ‘go with the flow’ of the group decision making process and overlook ethical issues in the process. What would you recommend that Lockheed Martin do to address this situation?
(Hint: reviewing p. 128 and the following pages – before section headed “Personal Responsibility, Collective Innocence” - of the text might be helpful).

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
Case 14. LGA Industries Employing Undocumented ImmigrantsDavid
1. Case 14. LGA Industries: Employing Undocumented Immigrants
David Martin was excited to start his new position as the
manager of staffing, training, and development for LGA
Industries, a carpet and rug manufacturer located in a mid-sized
Texas town. LGA Industries had been producing well-known
and high-quality carpets and rugs for the past 100 years. Over
the years, its workforce had grown to just under 2,000
employees. Martin had just completed a master’s degree in
Human Resource Management from the University of Texas at
El Paso. In the last few years, LGA Industries had found it
increasingly difficult to locate and hire employees to meet the
growing demand for its products. Their traditional sources of
labor were drying up as many high school graduates left the
small town to seek employment in places like Dallas and
Houston. The pay for unskilled jobs was $8.50 per hour. Martin
learned that 45 percent of hires in the last four years consisted
of immigrants from Mexico and other Latin American countries.
The Latino population of the town, which had been less than 5
percent in 1990, was now about 25 percent.
Martin’s predecessor, who retired last month, had been with
LGA Industries for 15 years. Martin was anxious to introduce
some of the new and up-to-date HR practices he had been taught
at the university. Within his first two months on the job, he was
to fill five new plant positions. The company had received a
large order that needed to be completed within the next six
months. Given the increasing difficulty that LGA had finding
employees for new positions, the company had begun using an
employment agency. When Martin contacted the agency, they
assured him they would have no problem sending him
prospective applicants. When five candidates showed up at his
office about a week later, Martin was quite impressed with how
quickly the agency had responded. When he interviewed the
candidates, he found it odd that they were not able to tell him
2. much about their previous employment experience. Three of the
candidates appeared to know only a few words of English.
Martin decided to talk with the HR manager at LGA Industries
about the candidates. He was surprised when the manager told
him not too worry—the agency was quite reliable and had sent
them good candidates in the past.
Martin was curious and decided to look at the files and records
of previous hires. He was not able to locate the I-9 Forms for
any of the newly hired Latino employees, nor could he find
them on the HR database. Martin knew from his academic
training and previous work experience that employers were
required to complete an I-9 Form for all employees to verify
eligibility for employment in the United States. When he asked
the HR manager about the missing forms, Martin was told that
the employment agency took care of them whenever they
sourced candidates, and the forms were probably on file in their
offices. About a week after the new employees were on board,
Martin received an anonymous note in his inbox that read,
“LGA Industries hires illegal immigrants.” He showed the note
to the HR manager who told him that he should not believe
everything he reads and that LGA had little choice but to get
labor wherever it could.
Martin was quite upset when he went home that evening. He
suspected his new employer was hiring undocumented
immigrant workers. The next morning he called the employment
agency and asked for a copy of the I-9 Forms of the five
employees they had just hired at LGA Industries. He was told
that the forms were not ready and were usually kept at the
agency. Martin knew the Immigration Reform and Control Act
(see Exhibit 1.21) required that if an employee does not have
the proper documentation within three business days of his/her
start date, the employer must terminate the employee. The next
day his manager bluntly told him there was no need for him to
worry or follow up with these new employees.
3. Exhibit
1.21.
Excerpts for I-9 Form Completion under the Requirements of
the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA)
Form I-9
The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) made
the knowing employment of unauthorized aliens illegal. Under
IRCA, employers may hire only persons who may legally work
in the U.S., i.e., citizens and nationals of the U.S. and aliens
authorized to work in the U.S.
With the enactment of IRCA, the legal obligations of
employers, hiring new employees have been greatly increased.
Employers are required to verify the identity and eligibility for
employment of all persons they hire after November 6, 1986. It
is also unlawful for employers to knowingly hire a person who
is not authorized to work in the U.S., or continue to employ
such a person. Thus, IRCA requires employers to complete a
Form I-9 for each new employee.
Employers may be held liable for an employee’s failure to
complete Section 1. The employee has three business days from
the date of her or his hiring to provide the employer with the
documentation of identity and work authorization needed to
complete Section 2 of the I-9 Form (“three business days”
requires an employer to count weekends and holidays as
business days if the employer is open for business on those
days). The employee must present original documents (not
photocopies) that establish identity and employment eligibility.
If an employee does not have the proper documentation within
three business days of his or her start date, the employer must
terminate the employee. However, if, within that time, the
employee produces a receipt showing that he or she has applied
for a work authorization or identification document, the
4. employee must be given 90 days to produce the required
documentation. The employer must complete Section 2 of the I-
9 Form within three business days of the date an employee is
hired. Employees must not be required to produce specific
documents. The employer must accept the documents
enumerated in the Form I-9 “Lists of Acceptable Documents” in
any of the combinations indicated on the form.
On the other hand, demanding excessive documentation can also
result in substantial fines. IRCA’s anti-discrimination
provisions prohibit employers of four or more employees from
discriminating against certain protected individuals (including
permanent residents, temporary residents, special agricultural
workers, refugees, and asylees) with respect to hiring,
discharging, recruiting, or referring for a fee.
I-9s must be retained for the duration of an employee’s
employment, plus one year, or for a minimum of three years
from the date of hire, whichever is longer. Employers must keep
a record of employees whose work authorizations will expire
and re-verify the authorization to work of such employees prior
to expiration.
Employer Obligations for Document Retention
Employers must retain the I-9 Form for every employee for the
full duration of that individual’s employment, with the
exception of the individuals previously classified as exempt
from the I-9 requirement. Additionally, every employer must
keep each employee’s I-9 form on file for either three years
after the date of hire or for one year after employment is
terminated, whichever is greater. Employers should accurately
organize and maintain all I-9 records. The Department of
Homeland Security and/or the Department of Labor may ask to
review I-9 documentation. I-9 documents must be provided to
these federal agencies upon request.
5. Offenses
Failure to properly complete an I-9.
Knowingly hiring, continuing to employ, or contacting to obtain
the services of an unauthorized alien.
Providing or knowingly accepting false social security cards.
Pattern and practice of I-9 compliance failure.
Monetary Sanctions
Paperwork violations may result in fines from $100 and $1,100
for every individual for which a mistake is made.
Substantive violations may result in fines from $200 to $11,000
per unauthorized employee depending on whether it is the first
offense or a repeat offense.
In 1996, Executive Order 12989 was passed, which imposes a
one-year ban on federal contractors who knowingly hire
unauthorized non-immigrant workers.
Criminal penalties including fines and imprisonment may also
be imposed if there appears to be a deliberate pattern or practice
of violations of these requirements or where a company
knowingly hires ten or more non-immigrant workers who are
illegally in the USA.

Elaine Mobley worked as a social worker with the Virginia
Health Department’s child abuse program for two years. Mobley
was a member of the nonsectarian Unitarian Universalist
Church. During her first six months on the job, she divorced her
husband of ten years. Her supervisor, a devout Baptist,
encouraged her to discuss her marital problems with a Christian
psychotherapist. On a number of occasions, the supervisor
encouraged other employees in the department who were also
Baptists to convert Mobley. Some employees held prayer
meetings at her desk while others gave her the silent treatment.
Their attempts to convert Mobley did not stop. At one point, the
supervisor made her participate in a Christian puppet show.
Another time she found a handwritten note on her desk from
Jesus that read, “How can you speak of God and reject me? I
love you and know all about you.” Her attendance at work
declined because there were days she did not want to face the
stress in her work environment. Mobley filed a complaint with
the director of the division stating that she was being constantly
bombarded with efforts to convert her to a Baptist. Shortly
thereafter, Mobley was fired from her job. Mobley filed a
lawsuit claiming that she had been fired because of religious
8. discrimination.
Edward Roberts, a black truck driver, applied in person for a
tractor trailer truck driver position at a trucking company on
March 31, 2005, in response to a newspaper ad. Roberts’
application listed 22 months of prior experience as a road
driver. He had an additional 10 years of experience which he
did not list on the application due to a lack of space on the
form. Roberts was neither interviewed nor contacted by the
company about the status of his application. In June 2005,
Roberts saw an identical advertisement for tractor trailer truck
drivers. Upon inquiry, Roberts learned that eight persons (all
white) had been hired as truck drivers between April and June
2005. All of those hired had less than 22 months of driving
experience. The company contended that Roberts was not hired
because no opening existed when he applied. Roberts filed a
discrimination complaint in District Court.
Thelma Jones had worked at a large public accounting firm for
five years when the partners proposed her as a candidate for
partnership. Of the 662 partners in the firm, seven were women.
Of the 88 persons proposed that year, Jones was the only
woman. Forty-seven were admitted to partnership, 21 were
rejected, and 20, including Jones, were held for
“reconsideration.” Thirteen of the 32 partners who submitted
comments on Jones’s performance supported her candidacy,
three recommended holding her application, eight stated that
they had insufficient knowledge to comment, and eight
recommended denial. While the partners praised her outstanding
performance, both supporters and opponents of her candidacy
indicated that she was sometimes overly aggressive, unduly
harsh, difficult to work with, and impatient with staff. One
partner described her as “macho.” In a meeting with a senior
partner about her candidacy, she was told that, to improve her
chances for partnership, she should “walk more femini nely, talk
more femininely, dress more femininely, wear make-up, style
9. her hair, and wear jewelry.” When the partners refused to
reconsider her candidacy the following year, she sued the firm,
charging sex discrimination.
James McFadden was a transsexual who, while still biologically
male, announced to his employer (East Coast Airlines) that he
intended to dress and act as a woman in preparation for
“surgical sex reassignment.” Mr. McFadden was subsequently
fired from his pilot’s job for refusing to comply with its
requirement that he continue to dress and act as a man.
McFadden filed a lawsuit in District Court alleging that East
Coast Airlines had conspired to discriminate against him on the
basis of sex (now to be female) and that he was treated
differently from other women employed by the airline.
Andrew Johnson, a black maintenance worker, was constantly
referred to as “Chicken Little,” “Chicken George,” “Sparerib
Kid,” “Boy,” and “Watermelon Man” by his white supervisor.
These names were used not just during private conversations but
in the presence of other workers. Despite several complaints to
senior management, the name-calling persisted for several
months. When management finally investigated Johnson’s
claims, the supervisor admitted the comments but argued that he
was only kidding. The supervisor was instructed to stop both the
name-calling and kidding. A fellow employee warned Johnson
that his days were probably numbered because he had gone over
the head of his supervisor. Shortly thereafter, Johnson was
injured on the job. While he was at home recuperating, his
supervisor called to say that he accepted his resignation.
Johnson denied resigning and wrote asking for his job back. His
request was denied. Johnson filed a lawsuit alleging that he had
been a victim of harassment because of his race.
Paul Martin had worked 12 years for the Department of
Transportation when he applied for a promotion to dispatcher.
Martin scored 75 on an interview test. Betty Palmer, another
10. candidate, scored 73 and got the job. Martin sued the county for
reverse discrimination. The county said that both Martin and
Palmer were qualified and that Palmer had gotten the job as part
of a voluntary affirmative action plan designed to achieve a
work force that reflected the race and gender composition of the
county. The county pointed out that none of 238 skilled craft
worker jobs in the county were held by women.
Elnora Williams, a black female teacher with ten years of
classroom experience and partial completion of her doctor al
degree in education, applied for several vacant middle and
secondary principalships in the Knox County school system.
Each time she applied, she was told by the superintendent that
“the school district believed that a ‘male image’ is necessary for
a middle or secondary school principal.” No females had
occupied a principal position in the school district. Williams
subsequently filed a lawsuit in District Court accusing the
school system of discrimination.
Frank Poole had been teaching hearing-impaired students in the
Jackson County schools for six years when he was hospitalized
with pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and, subsequently, was
diagnosed as having AIDS. Despite the county medical
director’s report that Poole’s condition did not place his
students or others in the school at any risk, the Department of
Education reassigned Poole to an administrative position and
barred him from teaching in the classroom. Poole filed suit,
alleging that the Department discriminated against him on the
basis of his disability (AIDS).
Lauren Hill worked in the plant of Hillbrook Manufacturing
Company from 1979 until 1998. During much of this time,
salaried employees were given raises or denied raises based on
their supervisor’s evaluation of their performance. In March
1998, six months before she was to take early retirement, Hill
submitted a questionnaire to the EEOC alleging certain acts of
11. sex discrimination, and in July she filed a formal EEOC charge.
After taking early retirement in November 1998, Hill
commenced a pay discrimination claim under Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act and the Equal Pay Act. She alleged that at the
time of retirement she was being paid significantly less than any
of her male colleagues. Hill also said she had evidence that
during the course of her employment with Hillbrook that several
supervisors had given her poor evaluations because of her sex
and that as a result of these evaluations her pay was not
increased as much as it would have been if she had been
evaluated fairly. Further, these pay decisions continued to affect
her pay throughout her employment with Hillbrook. Therefore,
she wanted to be compensated accordingly for the
discrimination she had experienced during her employment with
Hillbrook.
After working as a title clerk for Harrison and Sons Car
Dealership for five years, Donna Skeen resigned. At 62 years of
age, Donna had decided that she did not want to put up with the
treatment she had received at the dealership. She had demanded
an end to the teasing she experienced, but to no avail. In a suit
she filed in District Court, Skeen alleged that the managers in
the dealership referred to her as the “old lady with the sagging
boobs.” When she forgot something or made an error on a title,
she was asked if she had Alzheimer’s. If she complained about
the temperature in the dealership, she was asked if she was
suffering from hot flashes. The owner, Frank Harrison, said that
there was lots of informal teasing in the dealership among
employees and that Skeen often referred to herself as the
“Grandma” of the staff.
Officials of a city government charged with discrimination
signed a consent decree agreeing to an affirmative action plan
with specific promotion and hiring goals for increasing the
number of minority firefighters in the city’s fire department.
Four years later, when faced with severe budget problems, the
12. city implemented a layoff plan aimed at protecting minority
employees who were recently hired. Jerome Atwood, a white
firefighter, was laid off even though he had greater senior ity
than many of the minority firefighters who retained their jobs.
Atwood filed a lawsuit charging reverse discrimination.
Herbert Fox worked as an office furniture salesman for 25 years
with the same company. In his 25th year with the company, he
went on leave for clinical depression. When it was time for him
to return from leave, he told the company he could not return to
work as scheduled. Subsequently, Fox and the company agreed
upon a new date for return. However, Fox also requested that he
be allowed to miss the first couple of morning sales meetings (a
request prompted by the side effects of his antidepressant
medicine) or to work on a part-time basis. His request was
denied by the company, and they also told Fox that, because of
increasing financial pressures, the company would be expecting
110 percent from him on his return to work. Fox did not report
to work on the agreed-upon date and filed for disability
benefits. The company subsequently terminated him. Fox filed a
discrimination suit against the company alleging that the
requirements attached to his return to work caused a relapse of
his depression.
Lia Lee, a Laotian-American, worked for Federal and State
Bank for over three years as teller. She had always received
outstanding performance reviews from her supervisors.
Consequently, when a position became available at the customer
service desk that handled customer inquiries and problems, Lia
applied for the position. She did not get the promotion. The
bank argued that she was not promoted because she did not have
sufficient English skills to calm irate customers. Lia Lee filed a
lawsuit alleging that Federal and State Bank had overlooked her
for a promotion because of her accent.
Margaret Reynolds, 5 feet 10 inches, 190 pounds, applied for a
13. job as a fitness instructor teaching aerobics at Slendercise, Inc.
She had always been very healthy and fit. She ate healthy foods,
worked out five days a week, and could do all of the
complicated aerobics steps and exercises. Slendercise, Inc.
rejected Margaret’s application to teach aerobics because of her
size. Reynolds did not look anything like the svelte women on
the company’s Web site and promotional brochures. The
company further argued that an aerobics instructor had to look
leaner than the public and that people must believe Slendercise,
Inc., will help them improve, not just maintain, their shape.
Margaret filed a complaint with the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission alleging weight discrimination.
Abdul Mohammed, a Pakistani-American, was employed as a
steelworker. As a devout Muslim, Mohammed was obligated to
engage in daily prayer. Mohammed, along with five other
Muslims working at the plant, asked management to provide a
room where they could hold their daily prayers during lunch
hour. The plant was located miles from the nearest mosque.
Management told the employees that it did not have a room that
could be used for such purposes. Consequently, Mohammed and
his fellow Muslims were forced to recite their prayers in full
view of other employees. Other employees ridiculed the
Muslims during their daily prayers and called them derogatory
names such as “camel jockey” and “raghead.” After being
humiliated on several occasions by taunts from other
employees, Mohammed and his fellow Muslims once again
asked management to provide them with a private space in
which to pray. Management again denied their request. Shortly
thereafter, Mohammed filed a case with the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission alleging religious harassment and
ethnic discrimination.
