In which groups has adverse impact occurred?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Answer option B is correct.

A company cannot threaten employees or make promises to them contingent on the workforce remaining union free. A philosophy statement should be geared toward communicating the company's desire to work directly with the employees in discussions about working conditions or benefits. If a union does attempt to organize, it is important for the employer to work directly with outside council to determine the strategic benefits of discussing the desire to remain union free and the disadvantages/limitations of unions as employee representatives.

A, B, C, or D? I feel like I need a crystal ball to figure this out. Maybe they should just hire based on skills, not skin color.

Oof, this is a tough one. I'm leaning towards D, but I'm just hoping they don't get sued for this mess.

I believe the correct answer is A) Caucasian and Black, as the hiring rates for these groups are not proportionate to their application rates.

Hmm, looks like the company has some diversity issues. I'm guessing C is the correct answer, but I hope they learn from this.

I agree with Miss, the data shows that there is a significant difference in hiring rates between Caucasians and Blacks, as well as Hispanics and Caucasians.
