Duke Power Discrimination Case

Summary

The Griggs v. Duke Power Co. Case involved hiring criteria that had an adverse impact on certain races due to lower high school graduation rates and test scores. The court found Dukes policy discriminatory despite no intent to discriminate. OSHAs most common 2019 violation was Fall Protection in construction. Reasonable Accommodation under ADA makes facilities accessible to individuals with disabilities. Quid pro quo harassment involves unwelcome sexual advances for job benefits. Watching The Office is not a recommended step to prevent workplace sexual harassment. OSHA inspections include record reviews, walkarounds, interviews, and closing conferences. Employees cant request an OSHA representative to work in their company. Reasonable accommodation doesnt include actions that diminish efficiency in other jobs. The Four Fifths Rule determines disparate impact in employment tests. Nationality is not a BFOQ for language proficiency.
