What is it?
Affirmative Action involves the employer taking steps to expand job opportunities in an effort to bring qualified women and minorities (or other underrepresented groups) in a work place from which it has been determined that they are excluded, in order to make the workplace more reflective of their availability in the workforce from which the employees are drawn.

Scenario #1
Yes. Section 706(g) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 allows for the court order affirmative action and equitable relief as they feel is appropriate. (Bottom of page 208)
![Page 17: Affirmative action.ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082410/554c34a2b4c905191f8b55cc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Scenario #2 Yes. The employer should look at their organizational
profile to get a view of their workforce. They would then need to conduct an availability analysis to research if there are qualified minorities and women in the geographic area that they would recruit from. If the percentage of the workforce is less than the percentage availability of qualified minorities and women, the employer would need to determine a placement goal. The employer is not required to hire under qualified employees regardless, but to have the affirmative action plan in place to provide the opportunities to all in a nondiscriminatory manner. (pages 228-229)

Scenario #3
The employees win. Plans should not displace nonminority employees or permit employees to hold positions that they are not qualified for.
