As an HR Professional you must be familiar with several different lawsuits and their affect on human resource practices today. What did the legal case, the United Steelworkers of America versus Weber

This choice incorrectly states the Court held the Civil Rights Act 'did bar' employers from such programs, which is the opposite of the actual ruling that permitted voluntary affirmative action.

This choice also incorrectly states the Act 'did bar' employers from implementing voluntary affirmative action programs, contradicting the Court's holding in favor of Kaiser's plan.

In United Steelworkers v. Weber (443 U.S. 193, 1979), the Supreme Court ruled that Title VII did not prohibit private employers from voluntarily adopting affirmative action plans that favored Black employees in training programs to remedy past discrimination. Kaiser Aluminum had reserved 50% of training slots for Black workers, and white employee Brian Weber challenged the plan as reverse discrimination under Title VII. The Court rejected Weber's claim, affirming that voluntary, race-conscious affirmative action by private employers is permissible under Title VII when designed to correct historical imbalances.

This choice similarly and incorrectly states the Act 'did bar' such programs, reversing the actual outcome of the case, which validated voluntary affirmative action under Title VII.
