Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Supreme Court upheld seniority over affirmative action in this case. The city of Memphis wanted to lay off firefighters based on their lack of seniority, but this would have resulted in a disproportionate number of African American firefighters being laid off. The Court ruled that the city's use of seniority was a legitimate factor in employment decisions and could not be overridden by considerations of race.
