There are 6 other movers in which the company employs. Based on the information provided, I’m going to assume that Quality Movers is a small business which employs at least 15 employees, 6 of which are movers.

The company should take measures to ensure that they do not intentionally or unintentionally place barriers such as the requirement for having a GED or high school diploma to earn a cleaning job. This law is not reflective of the role intended to be filled and may thus qualify to be set as a barrier to entry. The company should consider a more prompt response rate for any discrimination complaints that may arise for having only one ethnic group in a job category. This gesture allows employees to recognize the company as an Equal Opportunity Employer, which is a requirement of the law for any private organization with more than 15 employees (BLR, 2018).
