Hold up, the Dvis-Bacon Act? Is that like the lesser-known cousin of the Davis-Bacon Act? *laughs* Definitely going with Title VII and FMLA on this one.

I agree, Title VII and FMLA are the most relevant laws in this situation. They address the issue of disparate treatment for caregivers.

Title VII and FMLA are the way to go for sure. They provide protection against disparate treatment for caregivers.

Yeah, the Dvis-Bacon Act is definitely not one of the options. I'm going with Title VII and FMLA too.

Ah, the joys of employment law. At least it's not the tax code, am I right? *chuckles* But seriously, Title VII and FMLA are the way to go here.

The Dvis-Bacon Act? Really? I think someone needs to go back and review their labor law knowledge. This is clearly a Title VII or FMLA issue.

I'm not so sure - the Family Medical Leave Act could also be applicable, since it provides job protection for employees caring for family members. Definitely a tricky one!

Title VII seems like the obvious choice here, since it prohibits discrimination based on protected characteristics like family status. The other options don't seem relevant to this scenario.
