Question 3
Civil rights law provides for employee protections against discrimination in many situations. The legal criteria must be strictly adhered to in order to qualify for the protections afforded under the law. What happens to civil rights enforcement if a part of the workforce is unprotected by civil rights laws? Will the public policy exception to the employment-at-will doctrine expand to fill gaps in public policy to the point where exclusions will be rendered meaningless?
Question 4
Many would agree that the discrimination legislation should be expanded to include those areas that are currently not defined in the law such as sexual orientation. There are many states and municipalities that have included this in their ordinances and statutes as illegal discrimination. Why have the federal government and Congress been so reluctant to address this and what can be done to “speed up” the process in your opinion?
Question 5
What have sexual harassment laws accomplished in the workplace? Have the advances in sexual harassment law resulted in women being denied meaningful access to senior management mentors, who are most often male? Does every civil rights gain in the workplace also carry with it an unintended cost?
Question 6
In a previous class a student raised an interesting point that the workplace may be becoming more “sterile” as a result of both the increased protective legislation such as the sexual harassment laws and employees’ increasing awareness of this protective legislation. Is there a danger in too much “political correctness” in the workplace that may result in some dysfunctional effects such as less authentic communication?
