Question

An employer is found by a court to have discriminated. As part of an appropriate remedy, the employer is ordered to promote one female for every male that is promoted, until the desired goal is met. Male employees who would have been next in line for promotions under the old system sue the employer, alleging reverse discrimination in that the new promotees are being hired on the basis of gender, and the suing employees are being harmed because of their gender. Who wins and why

Answer 1

The employer wins because he is acting on court orders.

Step-by-step explanation:

Discrimination in the workplace is a punishable offense by the law. This act of promoting one female for every male promoted is a remedy to being found guilty of discrimination by the court.

In this case where he has been sued again for reverse discrimination, he (employer) is going to win this particular one because he was only acting on court order. The one female for every male was imposed on him by the court. So he is protected from this reverse discrimination accusations by his disgruntled employees.
