Eeoc Against Dollar General Case Study

Decent Essays
In the case of EEOC against dollar general, I would rule Dollar General guilty.

For example, in the article it states, that Dollar General looked at drug possession felonies that was 6 years old. No matter how old the felony was Dollar General automatically disqualified the candidate.

First off, if a person was charged for bank larceny, then we can look at the facts differently because the employee would be working around money. Secondly, the drug possession was 6 years old and should not be an issue for someone working at a retail store. The reason for this is that, there is an ample amount of time for a person
