Question 39

Multiple Choice

Employees at Clearwater Plumbing Supplies Inc.asked the management to hold an election to determine which radio station would be played on the warehouse public address (PA) system while they are at work.The winning station was a Christian music show.After a few weeks of having exclusively Christian music played over the loudspeakers at work,some employees complained to the management that it was religious discrimination.The management stopped playing music on the PA system and allowed employees to wear headsets or have small radios at their workplace.Arturo,a devout Christian,was extremely disappointed by this change and brought a complaint under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.Which of the following is most likely to be true in this case?


A) Arturo can prevail on a claim of failure to accommodate his religious practices because the complaints by a few employees about playing Christian music on the PA system were not made to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) .
B) Arturo cannot show disparate treatment because prohibiting a certain kind of music at work, even that which has been approved by a majority employee vote, is not an adverse employment action.
C) Arturo can prevail on a claim of failure to accommodate his religious practices if he can show that there is an increase in employees' productivity if they listen to Christian music played over the loudspeakers.
D) Arturo can show disparate impact because the decision to stop playing Christian radio does not affect non-Christians equally as it affects Christians.
