Describe the current climate toward EEO laws and regulations.
What will be an ideal response?
Every public opinion poll based on representative national samples drawn between 1950 and the present shows that a majority of Americans--Black, Brown, and White--support EEO and reject differential treatment based on race, regardless of its alleged purposes or results. There is agreement about the ends to be achieved, but there is disagreement about the means to be used (Von Drehle, 2003). EEO has been, and is still, an emotionally charged issue. Congress has provided sound legal bases for effecting changes in EEO through sweeping civil rights legislation. Subsequently, thousands of dissatisfied groups and individuals have won substantial redress on many issues by availing themselves of their legal rights. The combination of the motivation to rectify perceived inequities and an easily available legal framework for doing so has made the legal aspects of the employment relationship a dominant issue in HRM today.
