The lawsuit that I have chosen is about a company not hiring someone because of their race. Tyeastia

Two Supreme Court cases that deal with compensation discrimination are Schultz v. Wheaton Glass Co. and Corning Glass Works v. Brennan. Schultz v. Wheaton Glass Co. was a Supreme Court case that was decided in 1970 that protected women from being paid less due to a different job title. It states that the jobs need to “substantially equal” not “identical” to be protected by the Equal Pay Act (“The Equal Pay Act”). Corning Glass Works v. Brennan was a Supreme Court case that protected women from getting paid less due to the “going market price” because “men would not work at lower rates paid women” (“The Equal Pay Act”). These Supreme Court Cases helped reinforce the Equal Pay Act, therefore helping to extinguish the Pay

The auditor must remember that all information collected during the audit needs to be sufficient enough to further the audit process. The information must not only possess the two qualities, relevance and reliability, but it should also test various assertions. For instance, in the audit of Walmart, the auditor should make an attempt to acquire information such as financial statements from the company’s bank, as opposed to acquiring the statements from Walmart’s management. Taking such crucial information from Walmart’s management will put the reliability of that information into question. It is possible that management may manipulate the financial statements, so that they are more appealing to the public and investors. Management may do things

There is a lot of money. In general, women bring lawsuit claim that their victims by letting local management practice of wal-mart to make subjective decisions about pay and promotion.

Case Review: Davis Supermarkets, Inc. v. National Labor Relations Board 2 F.3d 1162 (DC. Cir. 1993)

Tanglewood recently received a complaint filed against them by an African-American employee for discrimination. The complaint file states that an African-American shift leader in Stockman is repeatedly passed over for promotion despite positive performance appraisal (Kammeyer-Mueller, 2012, p. 34). The attorneys of this associate is now contacting other minority associates of Tanglewood to form a class action lawsuit. It is important for the Tanglewood association to determine if there is discrimination within the organization. To determine if there is discrimination in the organization, an analysis of disparate impact is required by completing a flow statistics and a concentration rate of all job categories,

Case Name: Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Petitioner v. Abercrombie & Fitch Stores, Inc., No. 14-86 (2015)

For my compare and contrast, I chose Savemart and Lassens Natural Food and Vitamins. Savemart is a large chain grocery store, and I went to their branch in Kingsburg. Lassens is a small grocery store line with only about 8 locations in California, and I went to their branch next to Woodward Park. Kingsburg is a rather middle class town, while the area around Woodward Park is more upper class, so when I was going into each of these stores, I was already expecting a price difference as one of the biggest difference in the two. But the most notable thing is that, it was a battle of quality versus quantity between the two stores.

Today’s economy and the increased unemployment rate have made the average American household drastically change their spending habits. The average household has to function on surviving with less. Which brings me to my topic. We have become a savvier shopper; ultimately looking for the establishment can offer the most for our money with out sacrificing quality. We have become “bargain shoppers”. When I think of a discount store two major companies come to mind Target and Wal-Mart. The merchandise and services provided are pretty much comparable. Many of its customer population shops there for two simply reasons one is out of loyalty and the other being it’s a preference.

The plaintiffs claimed “that women of the past five years have been paid less than male workers in comparable positions and that the company systematically passed over female employees when awarding promotions to management” (Duke). This prompted a study of Wal-Mart’s hourly wages to all employees, which found that 65% of their employees were women, but only 33% of management positions were held by women (Pay). This class action was allowed, but overturned due to the Court believing the plaintiff was unable to prove Wal-Mart operated under a general policy of discrimination(Duke). However, Duke et al V Wal-Mart, opened the doors for the next 2,000 claimants who filed charges within a year, with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (Pay.) Paving the way for Lilly Ledbetter’s case against Goodyear tire and rubber (Pay). Ms. Ledbetter initially lost her case against Goodyear, the judge had cited that the case should have been served within 180 days of her first unfair paycheck (Ledbetter). Thus, prompting President Barak Obama to sign the Lilly Fair Pay Act, which not only reversed the ruling of the Supreme Court, but that each new paycheck restarted the 180 day clock

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Dukes was perhaps the most closely watched cases when the largest discrimination lawsuit was taken to the Supreme Court by Wal-Mart in 2011. The divided opinion was highlighted in the case video with Justice Antonin Scalia claiming that “the women failed to show Wal-Mart has a policy of discrimination that worked to harm all female employees,” while Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg maintained that discrimination can be subtler.

Retaliation is the most common supposed basis of discernment within the federal area and the most shared discernment within the filed cases. Retaliation particularly occupies 42 percent of all the discrimination cases within the federal sector [20]. The EECO policies forbid actions that are intended to punish employees or those that are applying for emphasizing their privileges to attaining liberation from any kind of discrimination that incorporates harassment. Emphasizing these kinds of EEO privileges is commonly referred to as protected activity which can occupy different forms [21]. For instance, it is particularly unacceptable legally to retaliate against workers for being a witness or filing objections in an EEO case, investigation, lawsuit

Although, Walmart is a recognized brand and know around the world it would benefit from the George Brand. If the clothing Brand by George were, too be well established and sought after in the United States Walmart would benefit. One it is a product line Walmart carries and secondly the George brand can create market value and increase the bottom line financially for
