Equal Employment Discrimination
In recent years we did not have any employment laws. It was challenging for the works working in the organization. Some of them were mistreated, as others were denied their pay—a good number of people that suffered before the employment act were the women and the black people. The women were not considered the same other employees. They were treated unequally as they went at times without pay. The other thing is that they never got an opportunity to speak as they did not have the right self-esteem to come out clear and point out the critical issue affecting them. The other thing is that they did not have anyone who would help defend them. It is the reason as to why the government came up with the employment law. Employment law was explicitly created to conducting various activities such as precedents, ruling and administration within the organization (Graham, Hotchkiss & Gerhart, 2000). The law was meant to address the legal rights affecting the people working in the organization. The other thing with the rule is that it would restrict some of the people working in the organization as well as the organization staff. The labour movement has been at the forefront in ensuring that the employees are well treated, and there is nothing that is affecting them as they are executing their duties. The other thing is that the employees need to be provided with an n equal opportunity whole working in the organization. There is no point for some of the working in the organization to be treated fairly as others are mistreated. It is, therefore, something that the labour body does not advocate at all. The law wants equal employment for opportunities for everyone. But contrary to that, we see various discrimination cases taking place each day as members working in the organization are denied their rights. In this case, the labour movement has ensured that there is economic and social development that has been taking place since the industrial revolution kicked.
According to Henry Kissinger (1973), he states that the leader in an organization has various responsibilities that they perform. He says that the leader has the role of ensuring that his employees are in a place where they want to be and where they have never been before. The leader in the organization is the mirror and reflection of everything. In the vent where the leader does not portray his leadership skills, then it is likely that the employees will fail at one point or the other. The other thing is that the leader ensures that every leader is satisfied with the work conducted to buy the employee. The leader has the role of ensuring that there are no discrimination cases in the organization. He ensures that every member of the organization is treated equally, and they allocated work equally. A leader that does not create a situation where work is allocated equally among the members than that kind of leader is termed to be biased. They are the kind of leaders who contribute towards creating discrimination in the organization. The leader has the role of ensuring that there is proper communication in the organization; the employees are, motivated and has a clear vision and strategy on the activities taking place in the organization. The other thing has the role of ensuring that the strategic goals of the organization are achieved at the end of the day.
The problems within the organization have raised and been growing over the years. In this case, human importance has been put forth. It is the reason as to why the federal government came with the EEO laws that would help govern the workers in various capacities. The government stipulates in this case that employees must be treated with dignity and no form of discrimination should be recorded at all. The law does not allow the employees to be harassed in the organization. Various laws protected the workers and were explicitly created on workplace employee. The essay will, therefore, focus on the same employee discrimination and look at the multiple forms of discrimination within the organization.
The Civil rights act 1964
The first thing that was created was the civil rights acts which were meant to protect the rights of the citizens according to the constitution. It was meant to protect all individuals from any kind of discrimination, be it public accommodation. The other thing is that it helps deal with various concerns on the authorities who engage inappropriate actions to the employees. The other word for the civil rights is that fact that it was meant to protect the rights of the public and also educate the public on their rights whole working in different places (Gruenberger, 2009).
The other thing is that the ActAct is against unemployment practices while working in different places. The Act wants equal employment among the workplace whether some of the employees would refuse to hire employees because of their sex, gender or race. The law prohibits this and anyone that is ground to commit this ActAct will be arrested and charged in the court of law. The other thing about this cat is that it prohibits the employers from controlling any kind of admission where they would energy in training or retaining of employees and also performing some key functions such as training of the employees. The law states that the employers should not discriminate the people which conducting training activities are hiring them to working in the organization. It is unlawful to dismiss training one due to their religion, race, sex, color and national originality. The exact also allows the employees to enjoy some liabilities. The ActAct does not allow the employers to be responsible in training and hiring or trying to classify individuals because of their class. The law in this case states that the employer conduct unlawful acts in the event where they hires an employee because of their creed or class. It is against the law and there is need for employers to ensure there is equal employment within the organization (Americans, 2006).
The civil rights act of 1991
The civil rights act of 1991 was created after the civil rights of 1964 failed. The ActAct failed due to the decision that was made between atonio and wards cove packing co that led to the weakening of the civil right acts. It led to the creation of the civil rights of 1991 where the cat was strengthened and some new laws were introduced. The major aim of change the cat was the fact that the initial did not address some of the equal employments discrimination within the organization. There was there need to come up with something stringer that would protect the workers working in the organization. The cat specifically talked on unlawful harassment and intentional discrimination in the organization in the work place. The law was therefore meant to come up with extra measures that would help protect the victims from any kind of discrimination and contribute towards coming up with equal employment opportunities. Apart from looking at the civil rights act, there is also need to look at the national origin discrimination.
National origin discrimination
According to the title VII civil rights act that was created I 1964, it prohibits any cases of national origin discrimination. The ActAct allows the employers to have over 15 or more employees working in the organization. The employees working in the organization should be respected irrespective of the ethnicity, nationality and enjoy the same opportunities like other employees. The law wants all the people working the organization to be treated equally and ensure that everyone enjoys all the full rights in the organization. There is the national origin discrimination in the organization where the people are not treated the same other employees working there. The title in this case allows the members to enjoy working in the organization without having to fear anything or being subjected to any discrimination cases. No one in the organization is allowed to violate any rights for employees such as language barrier, making particular decisions that will affect the employees and harassing the employees in any way. The employers in this case need to ensure that they work on towards creating equal employment within the organization without discriminate employees based on their origin or color.
Pregnancy discrimination act
The other thing that needs to be enacted in an organization is ensuring that there is equality within the organization to everyone. The law does not advocate the organization to discriminate women because of their childbirth, pregnancy and sex discrimination. The title VII discriminate this cate and ensure the role of 15 or employees is enacted within the organization. The cat states that the pregnant women need to be treated equally as other employees working in the organization. The ActAct helps cover the employers working in the labor organization, employment agencies and federal government. The pregnancy act in this case also allows the women to be protected and treated equally in the event of hiring the employees, classifying employees to work in various departments and training of the employments. No one should be discriminate the women because of their status. They should be treated as temporally workers who are disabled for some time and within time their will resume their full responsibilities. The employer in this case has the role of ensuring that the job vacant of the pregnant woman is protected at all times in the sense that they are not likely to lose their job. The employer in this case ask the employee to come up with a doctor statement on her ability hence allowing her to take sick leave. The employer also the role of ensuring that the employee health insurance will help cover the hospital expenses. The other thing is that the pregnancy expenses in this case will be reimbursed and be provided to their male spouses as the same case applies to male spouses to their female employees. Childbirth, pregnancy will be treated as a medical condition where the needs to be treated and cannot work due to their condition hence their need time to get treated. In this case it shows that there is equality within the organization and employer values all their employees as they have minimized all cases of discrimination.
The equal pay act 1963
The cat was developed to help create a scenario in the organization where all the members are paid equally. They should be paid equally despite their gender. The job in this case needs to be identical and equal just like that of other employees. There is no need for the employer to pay other employees a higher pay than other employees and yet they are working in the same field. It therefore needs to ensure that all employees are paid equally in this case. The cat allows the employers to pay men and women working in the organization equally. The organization also can have variation according to the pay of the employees focusing on the nature of the work. The skills of the employees in this case needs to be measured according to their training, experience, ability to work and educational levels. The major issues that arises in this case is the skills required to complete a certain job and the skills that employees have. The ActAct states that at times the pay can vary due to the accountability of the workers and the various kind of functions they are performing in the organization. But the key thing that needs to consider in this case is for the organization to ensure that there is equal employment where the duties are executed equally and the employees are paid equally.
American with disability act of 1990
The ActAct was created to ensure that the people living with disabilities are not discriminated in any way. The people living with disability have the right of working just like other employees despite their physical status. The employers have no right of denying them a job application, training, procedures and compensation privileges due to their status. The ActAct in this case states that people with disability are those with mental or physical impairment which leads to limiting the people performing some activities (Conroy, 2003). The employer has the right of offering reasonable accommodation to all employees despite their disability. It is not right for the organization to offer other employees some privileges some rights and forget other employees. They should all treated equally as they perform the same functions in organization. The ActAct states that disability is an ability hence cannot prevent one from performing certain duties in the organization. The same way, the organization needs to treat them equally just like the other employees and ensure that they are paid equally and assigned equal roles.
