Question

(TCO H) Kramer, a African-American male, enters into an employment contract with Bonzai Consulting for a three-year term. Shortly after the commencement of the term, it was made clear to Kramer by some of his Caucasian colleagues that he was not welcome. Kramer was frequently locked out of his office, his work was sabotaged, and his mail was intercepted and destroyed. All of these actions rendered him ineffective and led to his eventual dismissal. Kramer sues. Analyze the cause of action, legal basis for his claim, the viability of his claim, measures that should have been taken by the company to minimize or avoid liability, and use applicable law to support your response and conclusion.

Answer 1

The case is a clear violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 under which, discrimination of employees base on their Race is prohibited which is being observed here in this context. If Kramer sues based on this, then the organization will need to prove that there is no such issues and the claim of Kramer is irrational and Kramer has to prove that the discrimination that he experienced was due to his race. The organization may have to go through legal proceedings and have to compensate Kramer based on his demands and claim. The organizations should have been more careful and effective in handling such issues because this is not at all expected from organizations today when diversity is being used as a key to success.
