Assignment Overview
Marginalized Groups
It is important to mention that there are several other marginalized groups in the workforce. Some examples are disabled individuals; gays, lesbians and transgender individuals; pregnant women; individuals from different countries and cultures; and individuals who are serving in the military. Ultimately, the workforce is becoming more diverse which helps organizations in a number of ways such as: (1) An understanding and appreciation for all people, (2) Different perspectives and ideas, and (3) Better relationships with clients and/or customers. As such, there are a number of different laws and agencies to protect marginalized groups from disparate treatment. Disparate treatment occurs when members of a group are treated differently from others. Some examples of these laws and agencies are:
• Civil Rights Act 1964 and 1991
• Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
• Executive Orders 11246, 11375, and 11478
• Civil Rights Act 1991
• Affirmative Action Plan (AAP)
• Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
• Age Discrimination in Employment ACT (ADEA)
• Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA)
• Immigration Reform and Control Acts (IRCA)
• Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (1974)
• Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) (1994)
• Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) (1978)
• Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) (1993)
• Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA)
