Talk:Griggs v. Duke Power Co.

Questions

Where was this case tried? Would it be possibble to get a photo of Willie Griggs? Knerq

It went to the supreme court, but if you mean where was it appealed from, apparently 4th Circuit court of appeals. See the findlaw external link. RJFJR 22:47, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps the article should point out that this ruling only applies to business with 15 or more employees. Smaller businesses are exempt from laws against discrimination in hiring.

Why was this paragraph deleted? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Griggs_v._Duke_Power_Co.&diff=660064388&oldid=656369519 The article makes no sense now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.100.177.115 (talk) 23:20, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Missing information on the actual complaint.

The article should mention at the beginning why the lawsuit appeared, to begin with. Namely, the power company was doing aptitude tests on employees.

The question was (see Oyez.com) "Did Duke Power Company's intradepartmental transfer policy, requiring a high school education and the achievement of minimum scores on two separate aptitude tests, violate Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act?" --Nanite (talk) 18:05, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Exactly What "Tests" Was the Duke Power Co. Using

I've heard it was IQ tests, but see no mention of that here. In fact the entirety of the article seems dedicated to the singlular purpose of talking about the case while studiously avoiding exactly what "tests" the Duke Power Co. was using.

What TESTS were they using? It's a court case, Duke Power Co. was a real company, they had real people and those people were putting real pieces of paper in front of real applicants and it was some kind of TEST, but WHAT TEST WAS IT, and WHY DOES THIS ARTICLE PUT SO MUCH EFFORT INTO NOT MENTIONING WHAT TESTS DUKE POWER CO. WAS USING?2605:6000:6947:AB00:1D9B:AE9C:E37E:9175 (talk) 06:40, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
