This is far removed from any legitimate criterion for employment. Hence, if a white person is more qualified for a position than a black person, it is the consensus that a white person should be appointed for a job. If there is a lack of black representation for a certain job skill, certainly this is a fault of the education system rather than the employment market. I do not believe that a truly indiscriminate workplace could also be truly representative of all population groups in all its departments. Indeed, if this were to be the case, racial quotas, as mentioned in the case study, would become a necessity. Furthermore, I do believe that the hiring practices for cannery and noncannery workers should be separate, as they are widely separate types of jobs. Cannery work is, as stated, unskilled. Hence, there would be a larger amount of applicants for the job, and it is easier to be apparently indiscriminate regarding the hiring of white or nonwhite workers. It therefore follows...

The company should list its various positions, and state whether these are skilled or unskilled. The company should also state, prior to hiring, that its practices, regardless of position, are based absolutely and primarily upon skill.
In these times of racial discrimination and the ease of law suits, it is best to cover all possible difficulties rather than having to react to unforeseen legal difficulties. The latter practice makes the company appear guilty, despite its best intentions to the contrary. For a company such as Wards Cove Packing, then, I would suggest documentation that discloses in full honesty its hiring practices. This would then invalidate any future discrimination claims.
