She carried her claim under Headline VII of the Human Rights Act of 1964, the spots government law banning work environment discrimination based upon characteristics including nationality, sexual activity, religious beliefs and national source.
Because the 1980s, a minimum of 4 various other U.S. beauties courts have embraced similar hurdles to showing discrimination cases against members of bulk groups, mainly in cases including white colored men.
