Constructive Discharge

What exactly is the Civil Rights Act? The civil rights act of 1964 is one of the greatest Bills that has ever been passed. This Bill prohibits discrimination based on race, color, sex, age, religion, or national origin. The civil rights act was amended from being to protecting only the rights of African Americans, to protecting the rights of all peoples in the United States. President Lyndon B. Johnson was the president to pass the Civil Rights act and make it illegal to discriminate based on anything.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act expressly prohibits discrimination in hiring, firing, promotion, pay, benefits and other aspects of employment based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin (U.S. Department of Labor, 2012). This law was seen as a major boon to minorities and women in the workforce who had, for years, been subjected to unfair hiring and remuneration practices. But, in order to ensure that there was broad fairness and that employers were abiding by the new law, some steps needed to be taken. One way to monitor employers was to force them to have a certain number of minorities and women on their workforces at all times, greatly increasing the number of minority employees. These affirmative action laws, while still controversial today, have made a huge difference in the composition of our nation's workforce and in the lives of those who have been affected.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964- Title VII is an anti discrimination law that does not allow people to be discriminated at work because of their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. This does not mean that women should not be discriminated at work, but men can, or African Americans should not be discriminated against at work, but it’s okay for Asians. This title is to protect all people. Legislation that requires equal pay and prohibits workplace discrimination has failed to bring about equality for women in the workforce of our country because there have been time limits placed on discrimination claims.

This is extremely unfair because a person may not know if they are being discriminated until they actually receive a

As you are aware, a lawsuit was recently filed by a former employee. The suit against us is being filed under the constructive discharge section of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In essence, the section states that we made working conditions completely intolerable for the employee, through some form of hostility, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or humiliation (Sommerville, 2007). Said employee quit after our policy change on expanded production floor operation hours. The former employee maintains that we made working conditions intolerable because we would be forcing him or her to work on a religious holy day. The key in this particular case, of course, is that the former employee is alleging religious discrimination
