Supreme Court Case: Griggs vs. Duke Power Company

Begin
this assignment by reading the following scenario:

Atlantic
Shrimp is a major processor of fresh and frozen shrimp sold throughout the
United States. Atlantic shrimp employs 301 workers at its principal processing
plant. The plant has a relatively young crew with 73% of the workforce between
the ages of 23 and 31. The plant is in Savannah, Georgia. Atlantic Shrimp
requires a high school diploma or GED as a condition of employment for its
cleaning crew. Right now, the entire cleaning crew at Atlantic Shrimp is
Caucasian.

Prepare
a 4- to 6-page paper, not counting the cover page, the requested appendix, and
reference page. Address the following questions in your paper:

1 How would information about
Savannah’s labor market be important in considering whether or not Atlantic
Shrimp is in compliance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964? Discuss relevant
data you find associated with Savannah’s demographics.

2 Based on your readings and
research, does Atlantic Shrimp need to make policy changes to ensure compliance
with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964? Should there be changes to
comply with the Age Discrimination in Employment Act? If so, what changes
should Atlantic Shrimp make, and why are they necessary to comply with each of
these important laws?

3 Use at least six (6) sources, at
least four (4) of which should be found on your own (outside of the module
readings). Provide a 1- or 2-page Appendix discussing why your non-module
sources (ones found on your own) were chosen and what criteria you used to
determine that they were appropriate sources to utilize for your academic
paper.

Case
Assignment

You
are an HR Manager for a large sheet metal manufacturing company. One of your
largest customers has just secured a major office furniture contract with the
federal government. Your customer wants your company to become a subcontractor
for the project, making all of the plastic parts required. There is uncertainty
among your organization’s top officials about whether or not to become part of
this project, even thought it would be very lucrative. The top officials’
concerns center around the need to prepare an affirmative action plan and to
formulate the goal achievement requirements that would be imposed to correct
underutilization.

Your
paper of 4 to 5 pages (not including title page nor reference page) should
address the following questions:

1 What are the EEO compliance
requirements that impact a federal subcontractor?

2 What are the important components
of an affirmative action plan (expand on the goal-setting process)?

3 How should affirmative action
goals relate to an organization’s strategic human resources plan?

4 What would you recommend to your
organization’s top officials about becoming part of this project?

Use
at least 5 library resources to help support and strengthen your discussion.

As
you read the following case scenario, consider how the Family and Medical Leave
Act, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act,
safety laws, or other state laws might apply to this situation.

One
of your old college roommates, Sandra, is a nurse who took a job that required
her to be able to lift 50 pounds smoothly. She was told the job had this
physical strength requirement for patient safety and to ensure that teams of
nurses could move patients as needed. Sandra worked for a nursing home chain
that employed 900 employees.

Sandra
had become pregnant and on her doctor’s advice tried to refrain from lifting 50
pounds. After she kept finding herself in situations at work that required her
to do this kind of lifting, she decided to just stay home until the baby was
born.

After
the baby was born, Sandra went back to work, but her baby developed a medical
condition that required her to see doctors frequently. Sandra didn’t have
anyone else who could be a “dedicated” caregiver for her baby, so she took
leave from work to tend to her child.

When
Sandra’s leave was about to expire, she got her daughter’s doctor to write a
note in support of extending her leave. The note was not clear and suggested
that the doctor thought it would be nice, but not necessary, for mother and
child to be together.

Sandra’s
manager told her that if Sandra did not want to return to work now, the nursing
home would not be able to keep her job open for her any longer. However, he
told her she should apply to the company again as a new-hire when she was ready
to get back to work.

Prepare
a 2- to 3-page paper (not counting the cover and reference pages) that
addresses the following:

1. Which laws may apply to protect
Sandra’s job? Discuss why.

2. Identify specific impediments that
might make it difficult for Sandra to avail herself of these potential
protections.

3. Discuss whether or not Sandra’s
employer may have opened itself up to legal liabilities and explain your
reasoning.

Use
at least 2 Trident Online Library sources plus any applicable background
readings to support your discussion. Submit your paper by the module due date.
