Abstract

These cases deal with the issues of one's right to employment. The group includes 7 individual case studies with discussion questions for each:

        Case 5.1 On-The-Job Fetal Injuries

        Case 5.2 Denny's: Discriminatory Service with a Smile

        Case 5.3 Texaco: The Jelly Bean Diversity Fiasco

        Case 5.4 A Texaco Chairman Who Believed the N.Y. Times

        Case 5.5 Hunter Tylo: Pregnancy is not a BFOQ

        Case 5.6 Rudy Granser: From Chief Chef to Bottlewasher

        Case 5.7 The Dilemmas in Job-Hopping

Case 5.1 focuses directly on an employer's obligation to protect its employees balanced against its obligation to offer equal opportunity regardless of gender.

Case 5.2 discusses the problems that may arise when a company does not closely monitor the practices of its franchisees. As well, this case gives pause to the importance of a corporate culture maintaining a reflection of society's view on racial-based discrimination.

Included in this series is another case involving racial discrimination -within an organization rather than without.

Conditions for hiring and firing an employee are introduced in cases 5.6 and 5.7.
