Question 10:
Assuming that the plaintiff was able to prove she competently performed all her supervisory duties, but the defendant proved that handling the machinery was a useful, though not essential, aspect of the job, do you think the firm has borne its burden of articulating a legitimate business reason for paying the plaintiff less than her white colleagues pay? This case involves a black female claiming she was discriminated against based on her sex. Tara Henderson worked for Mid-South, and was hired in 1992. She was hired as an operator, and then was promoted to a team leader, then lastly becoming the supervisor of the Molding Department in 2005. Henderson earned $31,000 per year, but her …show more content…

She provided doctor’s notes but did not always call ahead if she was not coming in. She had a meeting with HR to discuss her absenteeism, and promised to do better. In June 2012, Henderson had a meeting with HR to discuss her concerns, and her belief that she was being discriminated against based on her gender and race. Henderson also made other complaints about Mr. Robertson, and the way he treated her in the workplace and the decisions she made. After making her complaints, she was transferred to the Assembly …show more content…

Mid-South used the reason of her skills to pay her less, but never offered to get her the training necessary to get a pay increase. The only way this would be acceptable, would be if Henderson refused to learn the skills the men obtained and decided to not work on the machines.

Henderson failed to do this, so the case decision will reflect

Mary has no claims that she had been evaluated unfairly because she was a woman and her pay had never been an issue until she found out that the men were getting more money than she was receiving. She has not stated any reason as to why the men are getting paid more than her. If they are all working in the same types of position then they should be receiving equal pay unless there organization is actually working off of the merit pay system. If they are working off of another pay system such as the seniority pay system then Mary should be making more than the males because she has been there five or more years longer than they have. These pay systems were not mentioned in the scenario so there is no way to actually prove that the men are getting paid more for these reasons.

On the other hand, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act attempts to remedy the “structural imbalance of the court system” by regulating private employers (Han, Week 3 Lecture, 1/23/17). Title VII uses statutory laws to regulate private employers from discriminating against characteristics like race and sex in the workplace by threatening the profits of these private entities (Han, Week 3 Lecture, 1/23/17). Unfortunately, these Title VII claims face their own barriers in court, making it difficult to use subtle discrimination to prove inequality. The limitations of these approaches are evidenced in cases like Washington v. Davis Sup. Ct. (1976), Griggs v Duke Power Co Sup.

In session 1 we were requested that make 'the machine' representing to a nightmare which was yet common but still evoked fear from the audience. We thought of one action and single word/sound for the every member of our group and delivered it using repetition. My Group, and I sat in a circle and brainstormed what a recurring dream happens to us individually and picked ideas. This was effective because the ideas that we come up with were original and unique and allowed us to have an abundance of different ideas that we select from, We also decided that people have nightmares because they do not want to confront something that is occurring in their life, so we used this to our advantage by looking at moments in our lives that we did not want
