Equal Employment Opportunities (EEO) means eliminating barriers to ensure that all employees are considered for the employment of their choice and has the chance to perform to their maximum potential. EEO practices include fairness at work, hiring based on merit and promotion based on talent. However, EEO 1990-91-Present include:
-The Civil Rights Act of 1991: Employment discrimination law that nullified selected Supreme Court decisions, reinstated burden of proof by the employer, and allowed for punitive and compensate or damaged through jury tails.
-Americans with Disabilities Act 1990: Extends EEO coverage to include most forms of disability, requires employers to make reasonable accommodations and eliminates post job offer medical exams.
- State and Local Equal Employment Opportunity Laws: allows employees to develop in ways that respect their abilities and needs as individuals, and respects them as a critical strategic asset to the business.
The Civil Rights Act of 1991
Several subsequent Supreme Court rulings in the 1980s had the effect of limiting the
protection of women and minority groups under equal employment laws. For
example, they raised the plaintiff s burden of proving that the employer s acts were in
fact discriminatory. This soon prompted Congress to pass a new Civil Rights Act.
President George H.W. Bush signed the Civil Rights Act of 1991 (CRA 1991) into law
in November 1991. The effect of CRA 1991 was to roll back equal employment law to
where it stood before the 1980s decisions. In some respects, it even placed more
responsibility on employers.
Equal Employment Opportunity is No two equals cannot be descriminated based on their race, sex, religion....no descrimination...no reservations....Equal pay for Equal work rather contract or permanent...My 2 cents. Thanks.
