The cases used for this Discussion require you and your classmates to analyze the applicability of a number of equal opportunity laws to different disputes. These laws include: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended by the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972, Civil Rights Act of 1991, Equal Pay Act of 1963, Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. You ultimately judge the disputes based on your analysis.
For your Discussion this week, review the situation you chose last week from the Chapter 17 exercise in Nkomo, Fottler, and McAfee.
Post by Day 3 a 2- to 3-paragraph (at least 200 words) description and judgment of the case you selected. In your description include the key facts of the case, the equal opportunity laws that apply to the case and why those laws apply, and the decision the court must make in the case. Provide an explanation of how you would decide the case if you were the judge and the reason for your decision.
Case
Abdul Mohammed, a Pakistani-American, was employed as a steelworker. As a devout Muslim, Mohammed was obligated to engage in daily prayer. Mohammed, along with five other Muslims working at the plant, asked management to provide a room where they could hold their daily prayers during lunch hour. The plant was located miles from the nearest mosque. Management told the employees that it did not have a room that could be used for such purposes. Consequently, Mohammed and his fellow Muslims were forced to recite their prayers in full view of other employees. Other employees ridiculed the Muslims during their daily prayers and called them derogatory names such as "camel jockey" and "raghead." After being humiliated on several occasions by taunts from other employees, Mohammed and his fellow Muslims once again asked management to provide them with a private space in which to pray. Management again denied their request. Shortly thereafter, Mohammed filed a case with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging religious harassment and ethnic discrimination.
