Arvind clearly broke US Federal hiring laws under Title VII of the US Civil Rights Act. Why he did not resign or get fired is wrong and illegal.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal law that prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, s-x, or national origin. It applies to employers with 15 or more employees and aims to ensure equal opportunities in the workplace.
Key aspects of Title VII:
Prohibited Discrimination:
Title VII makes it illegal for employers to discriminate against employees or applicants in hiring, firing, compensation, and other terms and conditions of employment based on the five protected characteristics: race, color, religion, s-x (including pregnancy, gender identity, and s-xual orientation), and national origin, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (.gov).
Scope of Protection:
Title VII covers a wide range of employment practices, including hiring, firing, promotions, training, and other aspects of the employment relationship.
Employer Responsibilities:
Employers are required to reasonably accommodate religious practices, unless doing so creates an undue hardship.
Enforcement:
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is the agency responsible for enforcing Title VII.
Retaliation:
Title VII prohibits retaliation against employees who file discrimination charges or participate in related investigations.
Hostile Work Environment:
A hostile work environment, characterized by severe or pervasive discriminatory conduct, is also prohibited under Title VII.
Equal Pay:
While the Equal Pay Act specifically addresses wage discrimination, Title VII also addresses wage discrimination not covered by the EPA, according to the LII / Legal Information Institute.
Federal Employees:
Section 717 of Title VII specifically applies to federal employees and requires agencies to establish proactive programs to prevent discrimination.
In essence, Title VII is a cornerstone of equal employment opportunity law, ensuring that individuals are judged based on their qualifications and performance, not on characteristics unrelated to their ability to do the job,
The interesting thing is that there is a lot (with stress on a lot) of discrimination in other countries, the US is by far not like that, but... the political narrative is the problem.
OOOOoops !
Maybe Alvind should also explain if he is hiring the "under represented" castes in India too ...after all, IBM is a global company that he is removing US jobs from every day, but India has a lot of prevalent discrimination, particularly with hiring and jobs. How does that balance out ?
