Silky Coordinates, a women’s clothing store, employs female attendants to assist customers in the dressing rooms. Radley, a forty-one-year-old male, applies for an attendant’s job, but is not hired. In Radley’s suit against Silky for employment discrimination under Title VII, the store has a bona fide occupational qualification defense.
Title VII is part of the Civil Rights of 1964. It was created to forbid owners of companies from discriminate candidates for race, religion, gender or nationality reasons. It is applied in federal, state or local governments to help people that are looking for a job. That is what Radley did in his case. He appealed to the federal agency Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to receive help and orientation.
