The Liability Of Third Parties Under Title Vii, Andrew O. Schiff
The Liability Of Third Parties Under Title Vii, Andrew O. Schiff
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Note considers the extent to which Title VII covers discrimination by third parties other than employment agencies and labor organizations.
