¶ … Wards Cove Packing Company vs. Atonio, I do not feel the company hiring practices are discriminatory. When looking at the larger picture, one must realize there is more to running a company than mere canning and preparing salmon, the companies must function year round regardless of being salmon season or not.
It is unfortunate for the cannery workers to only be employed during summer months. However the employees are aware they are hired on a temporary basis. By being only temporary employees the company could indeed pay it's cannery employees more because they are only temporary.
It is very difficult being a Fishing and Gaming business because it is only seasonal. If salmon were in season year round the non-cannery employees would have full time, permanent employment.
If the cannery employees wish to "move up" within the company they must obtain qualifications. The companies themselves could offer to pay for the education of its employees or they could propose to do an up-to-date information on the employees when they return for the summer months and see if any employees obtained any new qualifications in the winter months so they have year round employment.
Better yet, the companies could offer paid training programs during the winter months for employees they feel would be an asset...
The companies could also have a hiring practice of hiring non-cannery employees within the state of Alaska instead of Oregon and Washington. They could investigate with the hiring hall to see if there are any non-cannery employees whom speak English who could fill the positions that are needed.
All employees must be made aware they are paid by their qualifications and experience. You cannot expect someone who is canning salmon to be able to do the accounting of a corporation or small business for that matter. You must have the knowledge and experience for the position that is wanted. In today's day and age nothing is handed to you. An employee must show they are worth the position the are seeking and they must be willing to show they will work hard to achieve that goal.
It is perfectly acceptable to rehire employees who have worked for the company previously as they would have the knowledge and experience as to how the companies are run as well as knowing the company's policies and practices. It would allow the companies to save on training processes and the company would run more smoothly by rehiring these employees who already know what is expected of them. It also gives the employees a greater sense of security knowing when Salmon season arrives they will have employment and be able to support…

Discrimination against the elderly, against pregnant women, against women with children, against people of color are all prohibited under the law. The EEOC or Equal Employment Opportunity Commission was created to administer Title VII of the Civil Rights act and specifically to "progress race, national origin, religious, and sex discrimination claims pursuant to the statue" (Gregory, 2003). Is the EEC doing its job? During the first year alone after
Transgender Employment Discrimination There is a growing body of evidence that transgender individuals frequently experience some type of discrimination during the employment process in the United States today. Although there are only a few high-profile cases, there are a significant number of employment claims being asserted. In terms of numbers, the high was reached in 1994 when almost 92,000 discrimination charges were filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Since that
Experian, which combines IT for managing credit analysis and reporting, in addition to a strong finance focus, is particularly known for its internal cultural bias of choosing younger workers over older ones, with one market research manager in her 40s remarking how she excelled on a phone interview only to be rebuffed when she interviewed in person (Posthuma, Campion, 2009). Experian also is a company that as employees age
Employment Discrimination Advocacy Advocacy groups exist in a few different forms, some that work on federal issues, and others that are more focused on state issues. States have the right to pass laws that offer protections that go beyond the federal laws -- the Civil Rights Act is the baseline federal standard. As an example, the federal policy on sexual orientation as a protected class relies largely on EEOC rulings, as it
" Gelato currently employs 100 people, 85% being 25 -- 35 years old. We currently do not know the "age makeup" of the surrounding community. To ensure that it complies with the demands of the ADEA, Gelato should analyze the community in terms of age ranges, including the age ranges encompassing ages 40 -- 70 years, and should institute recruiting and hiring policies that phase in age ranges compatible with
I have been discriminated against, which has caused my self-esteem to fall, and now I am stuck, with few role models to follow. Bill's success has probably been thwarted by more sources than the today's average black or female, but there is no provision in preferential hiring for him. Just like no one can control his or her race or skin color, Bill's obesity is caused by a medical
