The 1984 Supreme Court decision in Memphis Firefighters v. Stotts

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Memphis Firefighters v. Stotts decision upheld seniority over affirmative action, stating that the employer could only lay off white workers with less seniority than black workers, even if it meant a disproportionate number of black workers would remain employed. It did not address sexual harassment or hiring quotas, and the legality of mandatory drug testing was not at issue in this case.
