Please answer the two questions below with minimum of 250 words for each question.
1). Suppose there is a case where both Plaintiffs are women; Leath was forty-seven years of age when she was terminated, and Ackermann was fifty-seven.
CCSLLC decided to restructure its call center and change its focus from inbound calls to outbound calls. This involved a complete restructure to the call center. In March 2011, all employees who were then working in the call center were terminated effective May 2, 2011, but were permitted to pursue positions in the restructured call center. Those employees seeking jobs in the new call center were required to attend a mandatory outbound training program. Although both Leath and Ackermann participated in the outbound training program, neither was hired in the restructured call center.
Do Leath and Ackermann have any valid claims against CCSLLC for unlawful discrimination? What are the relevant legal doctrines? Are there any additional facts that we would need to find out in order to resolve this dispute?
2). Describe an example of political tides having sway over public administration decisions. Is a public administrator who alters his/ her position due to political pressures merely responding to the will of the people or neglecting his/ her duties as an impartial, professional administrator? Is there ever a time when a public administrator should ignore political or social demands in favor of his/her own moral or legal restraints?
