Question

Smith, Washington, and bailey are African American bricklayers. they had applied for work with constructo co. a brick and masonry contractor. Constructo refused their applications for the reason that company policy is to hire only bricklayers referred by constructo employees. The three filed charges with the EEOC, which decided not to file suit against constructo. The bricklayers then filed suit in federal court against constructo, alleging race discrimination in hiring. At the trial, the three presented evidence of their rejection by constructo. Constructo denied any racial discrimination in hiring and introduced evidence showing that African Americans make up 13 percent of its workforce. Only 5.7 percent of all certified bricklayers in the greater metropolitan area are African American. Has constructo met its burden under Title VII? Have the three African Americans met their burden under title VII?

I would concur with the choice to expel the case in light of the fact that

I feel that the organization was capable to show that they were enlisting African American bricklayers who were alluded. All that the three bricklayers were ready to demonstrate is that they were not ready to meet the referral capability at Constructor. Two of the three courts suspected that they didn't meet their weight under Title VII
