Illegal Discrimination

For this discussion, refer to the following:

• Meritor Savings Bank, FSB v. Vinson, 1986.
• Sutton v. United Air Lines, Inc., 1999.
• Hawkins, D. (2016, February 8). Racial discrimination – Title VII. Wisconsin Law Journal.
• Saulsbery, G. (2020, June 15). U.S. Supreme Court: Employees can’t be fired because of their sexual orientation. NJBIZ.

Analyze the different attitudes that the judiciary has taken with regard to each case/situation.

In each case:

• Why did the courts take the position that they did?
• Are there any larger controls at work, guiding these decisions?
• In what ways might an HRM professional help eliminate illegal discrimination in the workplace?
