Equal Employment Opportunity Laws

Equal Employment Opportunity Laws

Introduction

In the face of the principle of equality, the law should not be a source of privilege or persecution, but an instrument that regulates social life, dealing equitably all citizens. The principle of equality states that everyone is equal before the law, whether this content material or procedural. The principle of equality entails and requires real equivalence in each case, in particular, not to take the risk of dealing with inequality equals, with equal or unequal, which would be conspicuous inequality, not substantive equality. This discussion will highlight the major EEO laws and give relevance to the history of the creation of these laws along with the purpose they currently serve. In the process, the discussion will make use of an evaluation of their impact on creating equal employment opportunities.

Discussion

The legislature, through the principle of equality, in an attempt to seek measures to ensure legal equality that disappeared before the economic inequality in labor law, seeks to real justice, concrete or material. The level of legal capacity to act, to hire, where they faced worker and employer, both equal because both sovereign in his right, gave in and became fiction with the obvious economic inferiority of the first face of the second. If the category of citizen put the two in the same plane of equality, this equality does not preclude, as someone pointed out, that the proletarian citizen, politically sovereign in the state, over, economically, slave factory (Warhurst, van den Broek, Hall & Nickson, 2009). So, if traced regulatory standards of public legal relations imposing themselves rights and obligations. Thus were created constraints to economic power by establishing minimum rules relating to the journey, the salary, how to hire, work the lower and woman etc.

The central idea that the social law is based is that of equality between people, but the flatness of the inequalities that exist between them (Imparato, Houtenville & Shaffert, 2010). Equality thus leaves to form a bridge from which the right to convert into goal or aspiration of law. Affirmative action describes policies that historically underserved minorities have preference during hiring or college admission. In the United States, most people associate affirmative action with preferential hiring or admitting African Americans, however, the federal affirmative action laws are also in place for women, veterans and persons with disabilities (Perry & Gundersen, 2011). In addition, state and local governments have also adopted different affirmative action laws. However, while some argue that affirmative action is still necessary, others think it is not and, in fact, exacerbates racial tensions.

Some of those who think that affirmative action is no longer necessary to argue that affirmative action actually encourages racism in education, government and the private sector. They argue that affirmative action also encourages people to look at color, sex or race as a factor in the admission process or when the employment goal, they say, should be to eliminate it (Imparato, Houtenville & Shaffert, 2010). Furthermore, some argue that affirmative action causes reverse racism, or ...
