Employment Discrimination Lawyers and Labor Law Lawyers

Can someone help me with this Business law 10-page paper please?

I need to write a 10-page paper for my intro to business law class, and I can pick any topic. I choose Equal Opportunity In Employment, but I am having trouble finding sources( I need six, with a max of 3 internet sources). Do you think this is a good topic? If no, what topic do you suggest?

Hi

I consider it to be a good topic.

Equal employment opportunity refers to the approach of the employers to ensure the practice of being fair and impartial in the employment process. *The term "Equal Opportunity Employment" was first given by President Lyndon B. Johnson when he signed Executive Order 11246 which was created to prohibit federal contractors from discriminating against employees on the basis of race, sex, creed, religion, color, or national origin*. The scope of the order also covered the discrimination on the basis of the minority status.

Discrimination in employment
Discrimination refers to the any kind of prejudice, biasness or favoritism on the basis of
disability
race
age
sex
sexuality
pregnancy
Marital status

in employment. No person should be treated less favourably than any other on the basis of the specified issues above. Many countries (like SA) have already implemented Equal Opportunity Act, making it against the law to treat anybody unfairly.

Equal employment opportunity is necessary to ensure:

To give fair access to the people of all development opportunities
To create a fair organisation, industry and society.
To encourage and give disadvantaged or disabled people a fair chance to grow with the society

In writing your paper, you can deal with following points and issues -

1. Earning from employment is the major source of survival
2. Prejudices do exist between Employer and Employees
3. History of stautes made in last 100 years in this regard
4. Government is the biggest Employer
5. Leading cases
6. How the law has helped resolving the discrimination

Following may be of further help to you in writing paper on `equal opportunity in employment' without regard to race, religion, color, sex, disability, national origin, ancestry, or age. -
