Employment Law for Business 6th Edition by Dawn Bennett Alexander ,Laura Hartman

تمرين 6

Calvin Roach, a native-born American of Acadian descent, was fired by Dresser Industrial. Roach claimed that he was fired because of his "Acadian" national origin ("Cajun" descent) and his association with Dresser employees of the same origin. Employer claims that, since there is not and never was such a country as Acadia, employee's claim of national origin discrimination is not covered under Title VII. Do you agree? [ Roach v. Dresser Ind. Valve Instrument Division, 494 F. Supp. 215 (W.D. La. 1980).]
