Essay 1: You are an EEOC investigator reviewing a complaint filed against WeHire Corporation, a temporary labor agency, which is a company that provides workers to businesses seeking temporary employees (for seasonal work, for example). The company employs more than 20 workers. The complainant alleges, and your investigation later confirms, that the labor agency classified applicants by race, sex, national origin, and age. The agency used code words to classify the applicants such as “hockey player” for young White males, “basketball player” for Black males, and “chocolate cupcake” for young Black women. The temporary agency then assigned the applicants to jobs based on those classifications, as well as the preferences expressed by the hiring company for a specific gender, race, age, etc. Is this a lawful employment practice? If your answer is no, what federal statutes (plural) have been violated and how? Your essay must identify the statute, and the types of claims that the EEOC may find this company to be in violation of (disparate treatment, disparate impact, retaliation, etc.). Your answer must cite to both the textbook (Ch. 3 or 4) and the Ch. 3 or 4 recorded lecture. Change of facts: Remove the sentence about how the agency used code words. Does that change your answer? In other words, is it permissible to hire based on the client’s wishes regarding race, gender, age, etc.? Explain your reasoning for each statute.

What were the players’ key claims under Title VII and Equal Pay Act? Identify the type of claim under Title VII and the required elements of that claim, as well as for the Equal Pay Act. Remember to cite to both the textbook and the recorded lecture for Chapter 8. Based solely on the above information (60 minutes video and the two articles), analyze whether you believe the women can satisfy a prima facie case under either statute. In other words, after identifying all the elements of the Title VII claim and Equal Pay Act claim you identified in response to question 1, now apply each of those elements to the case and arrive at your conclusion – have the players successfully established a prima facie case under either statute? Note: I am not asking students to repeat any of the findings of the courts. You are to do your own analysis of each claim, and each statute. Lastly, are there risks to an employer (not specifically U.S. Soccer but any employer), other than the threat of litigation, for engaging in pay disparity based on gender? Explain your answer.
