Discrimination Cases In The Supreme Court’S 1998 Term, Eileen Kaufman
Discrimination Cases In The Supreme Court’S 1998 Term, Eileen Kaufman
Eileen Kaufman
In the Supreme Court's 1997 Term, the Supreme Court had decided a record number of statutory discrimination cases. However, that record was exceeded in the Supreme Court's 1998 Term with the Court addressing issues arising under Title VII, which covers discrimination in employment; Title IX, which covers discrimination in schools; and most significantly, the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination based on disability. Overall, the term scored significant victories for employers who were given considerable latitude to set their own physical characteristic standards and who were, to a large extent, immunized from liability for punitive damages. There was an …

Landing Stable Employment: The Exploratory Study Of A Job Vs. Career, Valencia Tamir Johnson Dr.
Valencia T Johnson
Landing stable employment can be difficult and discouraging. Some employers want applicants that are searching for a “career”, and some employers are looking for applicants that want a “job”. Ask yourself, what is the difference between a job and a career? In simple terms, a job is short-term and a career is long-term. Applicants who seek a job would likely stay less than a year, as with a career, the candidate would likely stay more than a year or longer. This article provides a clear and concise overview of the exploratory study of landing a career or job.
Thinking Win-Win: Boosting Profitability Through Gender-Balanced Flex-Time, Gabriela Steier
Thinking Win-Win: Boosting Profitability Through Gender-Balanced Flex-Time, Gabriela Steier
Gabriela Steier
Setting working mothers free from the gridlock of inflexible “all-or-nothing” workplaces1 can unleash the tremendous potential of female leadership qualities and create win-win2 situations for both employers and employees. When human resources managers create such win-win situations, they can boost efficiency, productivity, profitability, and ultimately increase their company’s bottom line. The key to this strategy consists of attracting and maintaining female talent in the market by implementing mother-friendlier time management. This article analyses the business case for women in terms of gender-balanced leadership, and evaluates flex-time block-schedules as a corporate management strategy to achieve the goals of boosting the bottom …
Privacy As A Tool For Antidiscrimination, Jessica Roberts
Privacy As A Tool For Antidiscrimination, Jessica Roberts
Jessica L. Roberts
Traditionally, laws that protect privacy and laws that prohibit discrimination have been considered distinct kinds of legal protections. This Essay challenges that binary on both practical and theoretical grounds. Using the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) as a case study, it argues that lawmakers can use privacy law to further antidiscrimination goals. GINA, which prohibits genetic-information discrimination in health insurance and employment, does more than simply outlaw discriminatory conduct. It also prohibits employers from requiring—or even requesting—their employees’ genetic information. While GINA’s privacy and antidiscrimination protections have previously been viewed as discrete, this Essay reads them in concert, arguing that …

Womenomics For Nursing Growth: Making The Case For Work Time Flexibility And Mother-Friendlier Workplaces, Gabriela Steier
Womenomics For Nursing Growth: Making The Case For Work Time Flexibility And Mother-Friendlier Workplaces, Gabriela Steier
Gabriela Steier
Gender bias at work often coerces breastfeeding working mothers to choose between their baby or their job. The forced choice between private and work life irreconcilably separates motherhood from a woman’s career, giving rise to the Mommy Wage Gap and the Maternal Wall. Consequently, the separation of work and family life has negative impacts on both the mother and her child. These negative impacts also bear on public health and the economy on a large scale. The more unaccommodating workplaces are, the stricter the separation between work and family life and the more permanent the choice a working mother has …
