Human Resource Dilemmas

1. Jose Martinez applies for a job with American Heartland Corporation. Sparky Foster, personnel director, asks Martinez if he is a U.S. citizen. Martinez replies in the negative but then produces a green card signifying his status as a resident alien with working privileges. Foster silences Martinez and then tells him, “At American Heartland, we hire only U.S. citizens.” Martinez is considering suing under Title VII. How would you advise him?

2. The Mexican workers at Bayou Oil Drilling are often referred to as “wetbacks,” subjected to vulgar language about their mothers and wives, and taunted with ethnic jokes and comic pictorials. Their complaints to management go unheeded. They are fearful of losing their jobs if they sue. How would you advise them?

3. Johnny Carlton attended the University of Lebanon while his father was stationed in the military in that country. When Kurt Munson reviews Carlton’s application for employment, he asks Carlton why he chose to attend college there. Carlton explains. When Carlton, who is qualified for the position, is subsequently denied, he reasons that Munson’s inquiry was a determining factor. Carlton initiates a Title VII claim for national origin discrimination. Munson asserts that Carlton does not fall under that protected class. Is Carlton covered?
