Reference no: EM131267953
During its consideration of the ORA, Congress heard evidence that, as a psychological matter, people make assumptions about people’s self-control and discipline based in part on whether they are obese. Congress was also told that, in a public opinion poll, 67 percent of Americans said they would be uncomfortable working with an obese person. 2. Three individuals testified to Congress that they were fired from jobs – one from a job with the New York state government, one with a large corporation, and one with a small business – based solely on their obesity, despite achieving good performance reviews. 3. The CPOD was formed “to fight, in the legislatures, the courts, and in public opinion, all forms of discrimination and stereotypes about, and oppression of, obese persons.” 1. Adams v. Baker Albert Adams, a junior auditor for the State of Baker, is fired for being obese. He sues the state and the state’s head auditor under the law, requesting back pay, damages, and an injunction against the head state auditor forbidding him from firing or demoting Adams. What constitutional provisions would allow Congress to impose ORA on the State of Baker? 2. Confederation for the Prevention of Obesity Discrimination (CPOD) v. Department of Labor Meanwhile, the Department of Labor promulgates the following regulation: Reg A: A “bona fide occupational requirement” is any requirement that, in the eyes of a reasonable employer, is reasonably necessary to prevent a loss of business or profit, taking into account reasonable customer preferences. The Confederation believes that this regulation is far too lenient, and contravenes the intention of the statute. On the day the regulation is promulgated, it sues the Department of Labor. Does it have standing?
