    When it comes to making claims it is hard unless there is enough information that can prove that the complainant was actually discriminated against because they were a man or woman. Mary can bring a claim for gender discrimination against her company because she has determined that because she is a woman that she makes thousands of dollars less than her male counterparts. There has been no reason given to why Mary makes that much less than her male counterparts. The issue with this scenario is that we don’t know if the organization that Mary works for uses the seniority, merit, or other pay systems. Most of the male counterparts could have received merit pay based off of their performance and evaluations throughout the last five years.

    The adopted Constitution in 1787, and later amendments, carried a guarantee of human rights, including the equality for all citizens of the United States. Nonetheless, at the beginning of 20th century, this was only on paper, not in practice: women were not allowed to vote, and black people’s rights were not on equal terms with their white counterparts. However, one of the most complex subjects was economic inequality between the capitalists and workers. Labourers formed first labour unions already at the beginning of the US history, although these had little effect and were dissolved soon. In the 1890s, the coal industry offered a large-scale employment and was controlled by a few major railroad companies.

  • Jim Quintero's Steel Case Study

    1) Identify aspects of Jim Quintero’s management style according to the four main management theories (Classical, Behavioral, Systems, and Contingency). While most organizations can more than likely identify at least some aspects from each of the four management theories, Quintero’s steel company identifies most with the Behavioral Approach with aspects of the Systems and Contingency Approach blending together in my opinion. Not having much detail on Cool Steel Company’s (CSC) organizational structural it is difficult to determine how much management falls under the Classical Approach, but seeing there are managers (not first-level supervisors) and reviewing Henri Fayol’s general principals, one can assume a structure of sorts. There are several examples of the Behavioral Approach (e.g., trusting, respect, responsibility…) that will be covered in more detail in response to question number two. It is clear that CSC’s success would be in line with the practices described in the cooperative system outlined in the Systems Approach and by virtue of employees being given the ability or responsibility to make decisions; the Contingency Approach can be applied.
