Jason was a restaurant server with six years of experience who recently relocated to the Northeast. The new town he lived in had only a small number of restaurants, the busiest one being part of the chain "Hooters." Although the Hooters restaurant is known for only hiring young, attractive females as servers, Jason applies for a wait staff position, and is turned down because he is a male. Is Hooters required to hire Jason for a server position

Answer:

No, Hooters is not required to hire Jason for a server position

Step-by-step explanation:

Employment discrimination law, particularly the Civil Rights Act of 1964, prohibit discrimination based on certain characteristics or protected categories such as age, sex, religion, disability, pregnancy, national origin, etc. Federal and state laws prohibit discrimination in a number of areas, including recruiting, hiring, job evaluations, promotion policies, training, compensation and disciplinary action.

Employment discrimination or harassment in the private sector is not unconstitutional because Federal and most State Constitutions do not expressly give their respective government the power to enact civil rights laws that apply to the private sector.
