Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which applies to employers with 15 or more employees, labor unions, and employment agencies, employers cannot discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin. However, under the concept of Bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ), employees, labor unions, and employment agencies can discriminate based religion, sex, or national origin if the discrimination is reasonably related to the normal operation of a business (Reed, Pagattaro, Cahoy, Shedd, & Magid, 2015).
Please respond the questions following the scenario below.
Scenario:
Delivery Quik, Inc., delivers packages to small retail stores from a central distribution point in a major metropolitan area. Drivers both load and unload their packages, some of which weigh close to 100 pounds. Although equipment helps the driers in their tasks, there is still considerable lifting necessary. Delivery Quik has a policy that drivers must stand at least 6 feet tall and weigh no less than 180 pounds. All drivers must retire at age 45 and have at least a high school education.
Does the height, weight, age, and education policy discriminate illegally?
How would you change the policy?
If your customers prefer male drivers, does their preference mean that the company can hire only males as drivers?
