Laws Affecting The Agency Of The United States Postal Service

In any nation’s creation, there is most certainly a point in time at which the country does not exist and a point at which it does. Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to single out the exact events that mark these points. This is especially true in American history, where upon first glance many events could have marked the birth of the nation America is today. With research, however, it is evident that the Stamp Act was the true mark of no return in American history. When the act came into law in 1765, there was a growing resentment from colonists towards British parliament in regard to taxes. England actually paid more in taxes, but Americans felt they had done a lot for Britain and were concerned about England interfering with their

I was impressed with the oral argument of Vance V. Ball State University case. When I first listened to the oral argument I gained a clear understanding as to why petitioner Vance reason where for filing a lawsuit. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforcement under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; make it unconstitutional for employers to discriminate against employees on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex (EEOC, n.d., para. 1). Due to the power that businesses needed to fire workers spontaneously, government and federal laws have been set up to guarantee that purposes behind end are defended and that separation does not assume a part in one's capacity to keep up their occupation (Szypszak,

Many of us have worked in job environment that were less than ideal and probably thought about quitting our jobs on a daily basis. Do you ever wonder what it was like before the laws were written and implemented that prevented your boss from discriminating against you and other coworkers? Well I can without a doubt say that I would not have want a job before the 1964 Congress enacted the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.

Having a job is a daily struggle that mostly everyone experiences. For some, it is extremely challenging to receive a job of their choice because the color of their skin is not what companies are searching for. This occurs often in corporations around the world, where young black men are overlooked by companies just because of their skin tone. The African American Civil Rights Movement started in 1958 but the fight is still unfortunately occurring today. In the picture provided, a group of men, some black and some white, are protesting against UPS and its racial dilemma. Eight UPS employees in the state of Kentucky have attempted to sue the company due to harsh punishments and other odd incidents that

The last decade has produced an explosion of racial employment discrimination lawsuits. These lawsuits have resulted in record-breaking settlements. By federally mandating every business to review the history, impact and proposed policy of Article VII these lawsuits may subside. Reviewing Title VII is a step corporate America must soon make or continue to loose much needed revenue. Our team will discuss the history of Title VII, the impact of Title VII in the workplace, who is and who is not covered under Title VII as well as propose policies that companies should have in place to avoid Title VII violations.

“No Taxation without Representation.” Everyone has heard this quote, but how many know where it came from? In March of 1765, British Parliament passed a law that the colonists must pay a tax on any licenses, contracts, wills, warrants, playing cards, and paper. Every one of these things had to have a stamp on it to show that they paid the tax. (Stamp Act Powerpoint) This was called the Stamp Act. The Stamp Act was the most important event that caused the Revolutionary War.

In Ricci v. DeStefano there were a group of firefighters who took a written exam for promotion in the New Haven, CT fire department. When the results were tallied, more white firefighters passed or did better on the exam than black firefighters, which would have led to a disproportionate number of white candidates getting promoted. As a result of this, the City of New Haven, CT Fire Department, threw the exam out and no one was promoted. This went to the Supreme Court and they found that by discarding the exams, the City of New Haven violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (website).

The stamp act congress was a meeting of representatives from many of the colonies, the congress was formed to protest the newly passed Stamp Act in 1765. It adopted a declaration of rights as well as sent letters of complaints to the king and parliament; the first sign of colonial unity and organized resistance.

It’s time for a change, America! We must break free from the British. It is time to stop allowing the British to use us based on what is best for crown and parliament. Americans are fed up with the all the taxes imposed on us. It's time to break free from the ways of the British and develop American ways. It’s time to fight for our freedoms and build American they way we want it. We must break away from the all of the taxes the British have imposed so that we can have financial prosperity. We must start doing things for ourselves and we don’t need the British telling us how to live our lives. Americans need a voice. In other words, it is time for a change, we must stop the British from suppressing our political, economical, and religious

In today’s world, the American still has barriers to overcome in the matter of racial equality. Whether it is being passed over for a promotion at the job or being underpaid, some people have to deal with unfair practice that would prevent someone of color or the opposite sex from having equal opportunity at the job. In 2004, Dukes vs. Wal-Mart Stores Incorporation was a civil rights class-action suite that ruled in favor of the women who worked and did not received promotions, pay and certain job assignments. This proves that some corporations ignore the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which protects workers from discrimination based on sex, race, religion or national origin.

Also, in Copley v. Bax Global, heard in the watchful eye of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, a past laborer sued his manager under the Federal Social equality law prohibiting racial isolation in the advancement of contracts. Besides, the offended party attested that he was expelled from his work since he wasn’t Hispanic. Lester Copley was an administrator of Bax Global Ocean Services for Florida and also Latin America, from which the association drove global transportation. Here, the offended party didn’t have any agreement and was a willful employee. The cases clear up those particular protests can get to trial on the ground of significant email verification, yet that cases begun on intermittent occasions are not inclined to prosper. The employers confront the least hazard when they

In 2011, Professor Paul Tennassee was interviewed by Cheryl Hawkins in regards to his book The History of the National Alliance of Postal and Federal Employees from 1913 – 1943 “Treat Us Right Not White”. He was asked to write this book by former Vice President James McGhee because no one had done it before and the information was available. The book speaks about the history of African American Postal Workers during that time. After the Civil War, African Americans had to take and pass the civil service exam to be considered for a job at the Postal Office, which was the only department in the federal government that would employ males only. The National Alliance of Postal Employees (NAPE) was started by Henry Mims from

After reading the article from Drake University; Drake Law Review, I agree with several issues mentioned within the article. Obviously, being a man of color, I agree with the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The idea of being judge by ones skin color, sex, religion, or national origin is dull-witted and idiotic. Not only should a business judge by the content of your character, said judgment should come from all walks of life.

The fight for racial equality has several challenges that come with it. “In Griggs v. Duke Power Co., African American employees challenged the employer’s use of a high school diploma requirement and a requirement of determine eligibility for qualifying performance on two standardized tests to assignment into any non-labor department within its
