Human Resource: Employment Law and Labor Relation
Atleast 250 words per question.
Question 1 – The widespread implementation of affirmative action programs decades
ago has largely been curtailed due to a series of Supreme Court decisions and
changes in state laws. Last year the Supreme Court decided a case that involved
section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, which was passed during the same time as Title
VII. The underlying rationale for the Court to strike down this important section
was based on the premise that it was no longer necessary to protect voting rights
of minorities -that society had made sufficient progress in racial equality that
the protections were no longer needed. What is the relationship of the protections
in the Voting Rights Act to protections for minorities in Title VII? Do you think
the same arguments can be made that the protections in Title VII are no longer
necessary due to social changes over the past 50 years? Discuss fully.
Question 2 – Some Western European countries have experienced increased social
tension in recent years as their Muslim populations have grown dramatically. There
has been resistance to integration into mainstream society from Muslims as well
from non-Muslims, much of this arising from cultural and religious differences. As
the Muslim population continues to grow in the US similar tensions are building.
From an HR standpoint, discuss issues you believe have/will arise from Muslims
seeking employment in US businesses. Are these different from issues faced with
other religions or cultural groups? How can HR best protect the organization from
possible discrimination claims by Muslims, and effectively integrate Muslims into
their workplace?
