FAQ

§ 1981 (Section 1981) bears the burden of initially pleading and ultimately proving that racial bias was the “but for” cause of the plaintiff's injury.

While similar in protecting against unjust discrimination, Section 1981 differs from Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Plaintiff-Appellant Warnether Muhammad filed this Title VII suit against his employer, Caterpillar, Inc., alleging that his co-workers created a hostile work environment based in part on his sexual orientation, and that his supervisor unlawfully retaliated against him by suspending him after he complained about the ...

The employee must first present evidence that he is a member of a protected class, he was qualified for the position he held, he suffered an adverse employment action such as being fired, and that he was replaced with another worker who is not a member of that protected class.

Simply put, Title VII does not apply to every employer. In fact, as a general rule, it typically only covers private and public sector employers with 15 or more employees. These employees may include: Part-time employees.

§ 1606.7(a) provides that a rule requiring employees to speak only English at all times in the workplace is a burdensome term and condition of employment. Such a rule is presumed to violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

§ 1981 prohibits race discrimination in the making and enforcing of contracts. It prohibits racial discrimination against whites as well as nonwhites. See McDonald v. Santa Fe Trail Transp.

This act, signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson on July 2, 1964, prohibited discrimination in public places, provided for the integration of schools and other public facilities, and made employment discrimination illegal. It was the most sweeping civil rights legislation since Reconstruction.

Title VII prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin. However, according to the Comcast ruling, the standard applied in Title VII cases is no longer the model for determining Section 1981 claims.42 U.S.C. § 1981 prohibits race discrimination in the making and enforcing of contracts. However, while the standards of liability are identical, there is a major difference in the coverage of the two provisions. §1981 (Section 1981) creates a federal cause of action for individuals claiming intentional racial discrimination. Two major vehicles for redressing private racial discrimination are Title. VII and 42 U.S.C. § 1981. These limitations do not apply to suits alleging race discrimination brought under Section 1981 or under Section 1981 and Title VII. Section 1981 grants individuals the right to make and enforce contracts, regardless of race. In the past several years both the courts and the Congress have become more involved in the black American's struggle for equality.
