Outsourcing Discrimination, Llezlie Green Jan 2020

Outsourcing Discrimination, Llezlie Green

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

The significant growth in employers’ use of labor intermediaries—that is, third parties that stand between the workers and the organizations for whom they complete work— has fundamentally changed how many low-wage workers enter and function in the workplace. Temporary staffing agencies that hire and place workers with companies and organizations have taken on a gatekeeper role to low-wage jobs in many industries. Recent litigation and various reports allege flagrant hiring discrimination by temporary staffing agencies whose clients encourage them not to hire African American workers and hire and send Latinx immigrants instead.

The Eeoc, The Courts, And Employment Discrimination Policy: Recognizing The Agency's Leading Role In Statutory Interpretation, Rebecca White Jan 1995

The Eeoc, The Courts, And Employment Discrimination Policy: Recognizing The Agency's Leading Role In Statutory Interpretation, Rebecca White

Scholarly Works

This Article explores whether a delegation to the EEOC of law-interpreting authority may be found under Title VII, the ADEA, or the ADA, despite the agency's lack of full enforcement authority under these statutes. If the EEOC possesses such authority, it, not the courts, will decide many of the difficult issues left unresolved by Congress under the 1991 Civil Rights Act, the ADA, and other statutes administered by the agency. I easily conclude the EEOC has been delegated law-interpreting power under both the ADEA and the ADA. The authority to issue legislative rules, in the context of these statutory schemes, …
