As an HR Professional you must be familiar with several different lawsuits and their affect on human resource practices today. What legal case found that a test that has an adverse impact on a protected class is still lawful as long as the test can be shown to be valid and job related?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The Railway Labor Act was a critical win for the management, in that it helped keep trains, and later airlines, from striking - to disrupt travel of citizens. The act was created to keep the trains moving - with a few exceptions, such as safety.

Answer option A is incorrect. The Clayton Act clarified language in the Sherman Antitrust Act, and deemed labor unions and agricultural unions exempt from the Sherman Antitrust Act.

Answer option D is incorrect. The National Industrial Recovery Act guaranteed laborers the right to organize and bargain collectively.

Answer option B is incorrect. The National Labor Relations Act, also known as the Wagner Act, guaranteed the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organization, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choice.

Wait, they're testing us on legal cases? I thought this was the 'How to Avoid Lawsuits 101' exam. Guess I'll have to use my trusty 'Plea the Fifth' strategy on this one.

D) Albemarle Paper versus Moody, 1975 - that's the one, I'm sure of it! Now, where did I put my crystal ball to predict the test questions?

A) Washington versus Davis, 1976 sounds familiar, but I can't quite remember the details. Guess I should have paid more attention in my HR law class.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Can we get a hint? I've got a test tomorrow and I really need to ace it, even if it means I have to jump through a few hoops.

I think the answer is B) Griggs versus Duke Power, 1971. This case established the concept of disparate impact and the requirement for job-related testing.

Actually, Ronald, you are correct. The case of Griggs versus Duke Power, 1971, established that a test with adverse impact must be shown to be valid and job related to be lawful.
