Deregulating Equal Employment Opportunity

Abstract

This paper briefly examines the course of employment law in the United States and concludes that the current Supreme Court’s laissez-faire approach to regulation is disabling our fair employment laws. The paper points out the consequences of such a course and concludes that the romance with deregulation on the part of a majority of Justices on the Roberts Court is endangering the moral imperative of equal opportunity in our nation’s workplaces.
