Legal Action
Question A
Tell us about yourself so you can meet and greet other fellow Grantham University students within your course. Include what you believe to be your current knowledge level of this course topic and what you hope to learn before the course is over.
Question B
Discussion Questions: select any THREE questions from the list below (preferably at least one from each chapter) and post your response in the discussion forum.
a. Do you think that most employees who take legal action against their employers have valid claims or are looking to “get something for nothing?” What is the basis for your opinion? (Ch 1)
b. Would you be inclined to take legal action against your employer if you felt strongly that your legal rights had been violated? Why or why not? (Ch 1)
c. Commenting on the increasingly widespread use of labor contractors by large companies, attorney Della Bahan claimed “These companies are pretending they’re not the employer. The contractor is willing to work people seven days a week, not pay payroll taxes, not pay workers’ comp taxes. The companies don’t want to do that for themselves, but they’re willing to look the other way when their contractors do it.” Do you agree? To what extent should companies be held responsible for the employment practices of companies with which they contract? (Ch 2)
d. Legally, it makes a great deal of difference whether someone performing work is an employee or an independent contractor. But should it make a difference? What is the justification for excluding independent contractors from protection of antidiscrimination and other laws? (Ch 2)
e. Look at the examples of neutral requirements or practices that are listed in the chapter. Why is each of these a “good candidate” for an adverse impact claim? How are they linked to protected class? (Ch 3)
f. Should other protected classes be recognized under the law? If so, which ones? What is it about these groups that make them good candidates for being protected classes? (Ch 3)
g. How likely is it that you might be discriminated against in the workplace? Why do you think this? (Ch 3)
Week 2
Hiring Decisions
Discussion Questions: select any THREE questions from the list below (preferably at least one from each chapter) and post your response in the discussion forum.
a. Suppose that an employer has a close working relationship with your college and primarily recruits from there for professional positions. What would be the consequence of that recruiting strategy? Would it tend to result in adverse impact? (Ch 4)
b. In your judgment, is there a need for foreign nationals to perform work in the United States? Do existing laws regulating the employment of nonimmigrant foreign nationals in the Unites States strike the right balance between employers’ desire to tap this source of labor and protecting the interests of U.S. workers? (Ch 4)
c. Have you ever been asked a question during an interview that was inappropriate or discriminatory? How did you respond? Based on what you’ve learned so far in this course, would you do anything differently if confronted with a similar situation in the future? If you have never had such an experience, and knowing what you know now, how would you react if asked an illegal or inappropriate question during an interview? (Ch 4)
d. What do you think about employers using the Internet to check into the online postings and personas of job candidates? Does this practice pose any legal concerns? Ethical concerns? (Ch 5)
e. Potential employers have a responsibility to conduct background checks to avoid negligent hiring, and yet most companies have policies that prevent disclosing anything more than dates of previous employment. So what’s an employer to do? (Ch 5)
f. What policy would you recommend an employer adopt regarding use of criminal history in hiring decisions? Why? Would the policy differ according to the type of job in question, or the nature of the conviction? If so, how? (Ch 5)
Week 3
Testing, Hiring, and Promotion
Discussion Questions: select any THREE questions from the list below (preferably at least one from each chapter) and post your response in the discussion forum.
a. Would you advise an employer that operates retail clothing stores to drug test? If so, under what circumstances? Using what procedures? What should be done regarding applicants or employees who test positive? (Ch 6)
b. Staffing experts widely regard tests of general cognitive ability to be the best predictors of success at a wide range of jobs. What are the legal implications of relying on such tests? (Ch 6)
c. Jobs are being transformed. Employers are increasingly focusing on processes rather than individual jobs. More work is being done in teams, with team members expected to be capable of taking on each other’s functions. What are implications of this for validating tests or other selection criteria? Has it become more difficult to determine what is “job related?” (Ch 6)
d. It is often said that one of the benefits of a diverse workforce is that employees will better understand and relate to their diverse customers. Does this justify making hiring decisions on protected class grounds? Assigning work so that the protected class characteristics of employees and customers match? If not, what should employers do? (Ch 7)
e. Are workplace appearance and grooming policies necessary? If so, what policy would you recommend with regard to office workers who have some contact with clients/customers? To what extent should the policy differentiate between male and female employees? (Ch 7)
f. To what extent do you think that caregivers are discriminated against in the workplace? Do existing laws go far enough to protect caregivers? (Ch 7)
g. Do you think that the “glass ceiling” phenomenon is primarily a pipeline problem that will disappear over time as women and persons of color acquire the relevant experiences or is it rooted more deeply in organizational cultures and practices hostile to the advancement of women and minorities? (Ch 7)
h. In our culture, the general perception is that with youth, comes energy, imagination and innovation. With age comes decreasing interest, lack of innovation and imagination, and a lessening of the quality of the person. How do you respond to these notions? What other age-related stereotypes might be evident in your workplace? What can managers do to prevent perpetuating stereotypes and making discriminatory hiring decisions? (Ch 7)
Week 4
Managing the Workforce
Discussion Questions: select any THREE questions from the list below (preferably at least one from each chapter) and post your response in the discussion forum.
a. What are some arguments in favor of affirmative action? Against it? What is your current view of affirmative action? Why? Does your view differ depending on the measures used to achieve affirmative action goals? (Ch 8)
b. What should an employer who has decided to implement an affirmative action program do to maximize support for the program and minimize resentment or “backlash”? (Ch 8)
c. It is often recommended that managers be evaluated and rewarded in significant part on the basis of their commitment to diversity. Is this a good idea? Can commitment to diversity be measured apart from numbers of women or people of color hired and promoted (Ch 8)
d. In light of workplace bullying and the difficulties plaintiffs face in same-sex harassment cases, would it be better to have anti-harassment statutes aimed at prohibiting unwelcome, offensive treatment, regardless of whether the motive behind the treatment is discriminatory? (Ch 9)
e. Do courts give sufficient weight to the obstacles that might make employees reluctant to report harassment? Explain your reasoning. (Ch 9)
f. Should employers attempt to restrict romantic relationships between employees as a response to concerns about harassment? Between supervisors and subordinates? In each case, why or why not? (Ch 9)
Week 5
Accommodation
Discussion Questions: select any THREE questions from the list below (preferably at least one from each chapter) and post your response in the discussion forum.

d. Does the Family and Medical Leave Act go far enough? Too far? What, if any, changes would you make to the FMLA? (Ch 11)
e. Should Title VII be amended to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation? Why or why not? How likely do you think it is to happen, and in what timeframe? (Ch 11)

a. Should private sector employers be allowed to use comp time to meet their overtime pay obligations? What are the potential benefits? Problems? (Ch 12)
b. Does the Equal Pay Act go far enough in prohibiting pay discrimination? If not, should courts rethink their rejection of the theory of comparable worth? (Ch 12)
c. There are many cases of serious wage and hour violations by employers, particularly in the retail sector. These cases feature employers failing to provide breaks, pressuring workers to underreport hours of work, requiring that work be performed both before and after shifts, and crudest of all, “shaving time.” The latter refers to the practice of simply deleting work hours from computerized payroll records. Is this any different from stealing? Is there any justification for such acts? (Ch 12)
d. Is the broad preemption language of ERISA necessary? Does preemption unduly constrain the ability of employees to hold their employer accountable for the manner in which benefit plans are administered? (Ch 13)
e. Does the U.S. approach to providing for health insurance and retirement income—with its heavy reliance on employer-provided benefits—still make sense? What are the alternatives? (Ch 13)
f. What is your opinion of labor unions in general? What is the basis of your opinions and beliefs about unions (first-hand experience, second-hand observations of friends/family members with union experience, etc.)? To what extent might union affiliation/status affect your decision to work in a particular industry or for a particular employer? Are unions as necessary today as at various points in our nation’s history? Why or why not? (Ch 14)
g. Is it fair that employers can permanently replace economic strikers? Does the right to strike mean much if striking employees are subject to permanent replacement? (Ch 14)
h. What, if anything, should be done to revitalize the National Labor Relations Act and the institution of collective bargaining? Should the Employee Free Choice Act be enacted? (Ch 14)
Week 7
Safety and Performance
Discussion Questions: select any THREE questions from the list below (preferably at least one from each chapter) and post your response in the discussion forum.
a. Think about a restaurant, store, office or factory where you have worked. What safety and health hazards existed in that workplace? What measures were used to address those hazards? Was safety given sufficient attention? (Ch 15)
b. The “historic bargain” that resulted in workers’ compensation laws occurred at a time (the early 1900’s) when there were almost no other employment laws and courts routinely ruled against workers with disabling injuries caused by their employers’ negligence. Is workers’ compensation a fair bargain now, or does it too often shield employers from the consequences of their negligence? (Ch 15)
c. Does OSHA do enough to protect the safety of workers? Does it over-regulate? Should the trend toward relying on voluntary compliance by employers be continued? (Ch 15)
d. Would you recommend that an employer use a forced distribution approach to performance appraisal? What are the pros and cons? (Ch 16)
e. Would you advise an employer to use training contracts? Under what circumstances? What might such contracts look like? (Ch 16)

b. Does the employment at will with exceptions standard provide sufficient protection for employees? Would it be better if all employers were required to meet a just cause/due process standard for termination? (Ch 18)
c. What do you think about the increasing use of restrictive covenants? Should employers who attempt to enforce these agreements against employees that have been fired have to show that the terminations were for cause? (Ch 19)
d. Is downsizing a sensible business strategy? Should employees be entitled to greater legal protection from downsizing? If so, what form should this protection take? (Ch 19)
e. Describe any concluding thoughts… what is the greatest lesson you’ve learned during the course or the most practical advice you’ll be able to apply?

2. Given that the white male is becoming a “minority” in the workplace, they should be afforded affirmative action protection.
3. Investments in career development do not provide an organization a viable return on its investment. It simply raises employees’ expectations, and then, if not fulfilled, cause employees leave. Accordingly, the organization has trained employees for its competitors.
4. Training organizational members how to be coaches and how to empower employees should be a major HRM activity in the next decade.
5. Flexible benefits programs are employer inducements to reduce benefits costs. The average employee has neither the ability nor information to make such important choices. Employees should suspect such programs.
6. Globalization has led us to the realization that workers are interchangeable between countries so long as language issues are resolved.
7. Job analysis is just another burden placed on organizations through EEO legislation.
8. All that is required for successful labor-management relations is common sense, sound business judgment, and good listening skills.
9. An organization should follow a promote-from-within policy.
10. Proper selection is a substitute for socialization

Why is this amendment important to you?
W3 Discussion “Trademarks and Dilution”
Provide an example of an existing trademark. What makes this trademark strong? What makes it weak? What is trademark dilution? Is this trademark at risk for dilution?
W4 Discussion “Who Owns the Engagement Ring?”
Business Law I
Who Owns the Engagement Ring?
Often, when a couple decides to marry, one party gives the other an engagement ring. If the engagement is called off, typically the ring is returned. Yet what if the recipient of the ring refuses to return it and a dispute over who owns the ring reaches a court? What law should apply in determining ownership rights in this particular form of personal property? In the eyes of the law, is an engagement ring a “conditional gift” that becomes effective only when the couple actually marries? Or is it an effective gift to begin with, meaning that it belongs to the person to whom it was given—the donee? Furthermore, does ownership of the ring depend on who breaks the engagement? On these questions, the courts are widely divided. Where do you stand on this issue? Please explain your thoughts.
W5 Discussion “Is a Video Will a Valid Will?”
W6 Discussion “Which Form Of Business Is Better?”
Jonathan, Gary, and Ricardo are active members of a partnership called Swim City. The partnership manufactures, sells, and installs outdoor swimming pools in the states of Texas and Arkansas. The partners want to continue to be active in management and to expand the business into other states as well. They also are concerned about rather large recent judgments entered against swimming pool companies throughout the United States. Based on these facts only, discuss whether the partnership should incorporate.
W7 Discussion “Offer and Acceptance”
For this discussion forum, please read about the case Lim v. The.TV Corporation International below and respond to the following:
Should the UCC rules governing auctions apply to items sold on online auctions such as e-Bay? Why or why not?
Lim v. The.TV Corp. International, 99 Cal.App.4th 684, 121 Cal.Rptr.2d 333 (2d Dist. 2002).
Under the Uniform Commercial Code, or UCC (see Chapter 18), a bid at an auction constitutes an offer. The offer (the highest bid) is accepted when the auctioneer’s hammer falls. The UCC also states that auctions are “with reserve” unless the seller specifies otherwise. As noted elsewhere, in an auction with reserve, the seller reserves the right not to sell the goods to the highest bidder. Hence, even after the hammer falls, the contract for sale remains conditioned on the seller’s approval. The question of how these rules should be applied to an online auction of a domain name, in which no hammer falls, came before a California court.
The Bid (Or Offer?)
The case involved an online auction conducted by The.TV Corporation International (DotTV) on its Web site. DotTV posted an announcement on its Web site asking for bids for rights to the “Golf.tv” domain name and stating that the name would go to the highest bidder. Je Ho Lim submitted a bid for $1,010 and authorized DotTV to charge that amount to his credit card if his bid was the highest. Later, DotTV sent Lim an e-mail message stating that he had “won the auction” and charged the bid price of $1,010 to Lim’s credit card. When DotTV subsequently refused to transfer the name, Lim sued DotTV for, among other things, breach of contract. Lim argued that his bid constituted an ac¬ceptance of DotTV’s offer to sell the name. DotTV contended that Lim’s bid was an offer, which it had not accepted. Furthermore, even if it had accepted Lim’s offer, because the auction was “with re¬serve,” DotTV could withdraw the domain name from the auction even after acceptance. The trial court held for DotTV, and Lim appealed.
The Courts Analysis
The appellate court first looked at the UCC’s provisions concerning auctions, but noted that the UCC did not apply in this case because the UCC applies only to “goods,” and domain names are not goods. The court then looked at common law principles as codified in the Restatement (Second) of Contracts. The rules under the Restatement are similar to those of the UCC: a bid in an auction is an offer that is accepted when the “hammer falls,” and an auction is with reserve unless otherwise speci-fied by the seller.
The court also pointed out, however, that DotTV’s charging of the bid price to Lim’s credit card was inconsistent with DotTV’s claim that it could withdraw the domain name from the bidding be¬cause the auction was with reserve. Furthermore, stated the court, even if it concluded that Lim’s bid was an offer and not an acceptance, DotTV had accepted the offer by its e-mail to Lim stating that he had won the auction. In all, held the court, there was no evidence that a contract between DotTV and Lim had not been formed, and Lim had stated a valid claim against DotTV for breach of contract. The court thus reversed the lower court’s decision and remanded the case for further delib¬eration consistent with the appellate court’s opinion.
