Title Vii And The Applicability Of Disparate Impact Analysis To Subjective Selection Criteria, Jane Rigler Sep 1985

Title Vii And The Applicability Of Disparate Impact Analysis To Subjective Selection Criteria, Jane Rigler

West Virginia Law Review

Discrimination-free employment practices have been mandated in this country for over twenty years, yet all members of American society do not share equal employment opportunities. One need only compare the unemployment rate of blacks to whites to conclude that complexion bears a remarkable relationship to employment experiences. A reminder that the earning power of American women is vastly different than that of men is evidence enough that gender is a factor in employment decisions. Most employers have abandoned their more overtly discriminatory practices such as outright refusals to employ members of racial minorities or women, termination of a woman on …

Employment Discrimination And Labor Arbitrators: A Question Of Competence, Anthony F. Bartlett Pace University School Of Law Jun 1983

Employment Discrimination And Labor Arbitrators: A Question Of Competence, Anthony F. Bartlett Pace University School Of Law

West Virginia Law Review

During the Second World War labor arbitration came to prominence in the United States as an important means of resolving disputes between labor and management. In the post-War years it gradually achieved a pre-eminent position in the American collective bargaining system, finally acquiring the imprimatur of the Supreme Court in 1960. Crucial to the Court's rationale for requiring virtual judicial abstension in regard to labor arbitration was its perception of the arbitration process as an informal and flexible system manned by arbitrators who were in possession of a high level of competence in the realities of labor relations. This view …

Right To Education For The Handicapped In West Virginia, Laura F. Rothstein

West Virginia Law Review

1981 was the International Year of the Disabled Person. During that year handicapped individuals received much attention from the press. Hopefully this publicity will result in an increased awareness of the existence of handicapped persons in our society, the special problems they have, and also their special abilities. Of the legal issues concerning handicapped individuals, the one receiving the most attention is the right to education. Many changes have occurred in the legal requirements placed on state and local educational agencies, and these changes in the law have caused dramatic changes in the attitudes of parents, teachers, administrators, and others …

Pregnancy And Hiring Discrimination, April L. Dowler Apr 1981

Pregnancy And Hiring Discrimination, April L. Dowler

West Virginia Law Review

The employer looks over the application on his desk. The applicant has the right educational requirements; her references are impressive; she has experience which would greatly benefit her in the position. She looks like a good prospect. The employer buzzes his secretary and requests that the applicant be shown to his office for an interview. As the applicant enters the room he rises to meet her. Half way out of his chair he stops. Printed on the front of the woman's shirt are the letters B-A-B-Y with an arrow pointing down to the slight bulge at the woman's stomach. Politely …

Sex Discrimination: Theories And Defenses Under Title Vii And Burwell V. Eastern Airlines, Inc., Debra G. Archer Apr 1981

Sex Discrimination: Theories And Defenses Under Title Vii And Burwell V. Eastern Airlines, Inc., Debra G. Archer

West Virginia Law Review

Following the enactment of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act in 1964 dealing with equal opportunity and employment discrimination, there arose a large body of case-law litigating Title VII issues and a large body of articles dissecting the cases and issues. Within this area, different methods for proving Title VII violations and different types of defenses developed. Almost inevitably, confusion arose concerning the applicability of specific defenses to specific types of Title VII violations. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals attempted to resolve some of this confusion in a sex discrimination case captioned Burwell v. Eastern Airlines, Inc. In …

Age Discrimination In Employment Suits: A Practical Guide, J. Michael Mcdonald Apr 1979

Age Discrimination In Employment Suits: A Practical Guide, J. Michael Mcdonald

West Virginia Law Review

Age discrimination occurs in numerous forms but is rarely overt and unconcealed. The elderly often suffer discrimination in employment without the appearance of blatant violations on the part of the employer. For the most part, the aggrieved party must look to the total surrounding circumstances in order to determine if some form of discrimination has taken place. It is therefore important that the attorney become sensitive to the intricacies of the law of age discrimination in employment in order to protect the rights of his clients. This Note is written in the hope of providing the attorney with the practical …
