Bona Fide Seniority Systems and Relief from "Last Hired, First Fired" Layoffs Under Title VII

Spiegelman, Paul J.

Employee Relations Law Journal, 2, 2, 141-54, Aut 76

It is suggested that the courts can provide protection for incumbent workers potentially disadvantaged, which may mean substantial monetary liability for employers using "last hired, first fired" layoff systems.
