Beginning in 1964 with the Civil Rights Act, the concept of equal employment opportunities has been around for some time. The Civil Rights Act article VII prevents the discrimination of employees based on race, color, nationality, sex, or religion. This was the first law the United States had to protect employees or applicants from discrimination based on their race, sex, or religion. In 1965 President Lyndon Johnson further enhanced discrimination laws by signing Executive Order 11246. This differed from the Civil Right Act in that the Civil Rights Act only required organizations to document their practices once wrongdoing was found and Executive order 11246 required organizations to keep and maintain documents of hiring
In March 1961 Executive Order 10925 was signed into order. It stated that government contractors could not discriminated. This established the President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity. It was made as a new determination to end job discrimination. In June 1963 the government passes the Equal Pay Act which means that women and men who do the same work must get same pay. In 1964 the Senate passes the Civil Rights Act. It prohibits discrimination in public accommodations, governmental services, and education. This act prohibits discrimination in basically all aspects of employment. In June 1966 EEOC issues Guidelines on discrimination because of religion.
EEOC was created from the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This act addressed discrimination in employment, voting, public accommodations and education. Congress passed the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 because congress found widespread discrimination in both private and public sectors. Congress relying on conciliation and voluntary compliance was inadequate. The major provisions of this act were EEOC received litigation authority to sue non-governmental "respondance" employers unions and employment agencies; EEOC could file pattern or practice lawsuits; Title VII coverage was expanded to include the federal government and state and local governments, as well as elementary, secondary, and high educational institutions; the number of employees

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission was established July 2, 1965 and signed by President John F. Kennedy, and it was created by the United States Congress. The Equal Opportunity Commission Office is responsible for enforcing federal laws that make it illegal to discriminate against an applicant or employee because of persons race, color, religion, sex, nation origin, or age. The importance of this Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is to protect employees so they can’t be mistreated, and it also protects the employer from wrongful discharge lawsuits. All commission seats and post of general counsel to commission are filled by the United States President, subject to confirmation by the Senate. The Equal Employment Opportunity
These three men had very different public, and private, stances on civil rights. It’s good to keep in mind, however, that plenty of what these presidents did was to gain votes from those who benefited from their actions. Eisenhower was definitely not known for his support of the movement and had never publically supported the movement as he believed that such extreme changed could not come as a result of a law from Washington, but from the heart. Despite this, Eisenhower passed the Civil Rights act in 1957 to endeavour to help African Americans gain the right to safely vote, however this could have been just to gain the ‘black vote’. He did publically support the bill. Kennedy, however, was very well known for his support of civil rights. In
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 pertained to equal opportunity and affirmative action in regards to occupations within the United States of America. The 1964 Civil Rights Act and its 1972 Title VII Amendment are federal directives monitor unfair labor employment practices. The Act specifically prohibits employers from refusing to hire someone because of that persons’ race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The Act also details that an employer cannot “limit, segregate, or classify his or her employees or applications” solely because of factors in regards to “race, color, religion, sex, or national origin” (Civil Rights Act of 1964). Meaning that the proper management is in line with maintaining that every person is given the same opportunities
After World War 2 lasting from 1939-1947 America was detached from the great depression of the 1920s, and with it came a promising future for the U.S. A sense of relief rippled through the citizens as the economy skyrocketed, transforming the country by introducing the suburbs to more than half of the white population. Peace from foreign affairs came freedom, and new music has risen appealing to millions of citizens particularly young ones sparkling rebellious self-image and portrayal of one’s self. With the soviet union being allied with the U.S in World War 2, they as well achieved victory, but they were communist and the U.S was hostile towards communism. This hostility marked the beginning of the cold war defining the foreign policies of the U.S and the Soviet Union. Such hostility by Americans led the way to a second red scare, and as for society, women were not accepted by men as workers only as submissive housewives. Such views led to critiques, and women attempting to show their equality with men. As for the south, African Americans despite their full protection under the law and so-called equality on paper were more oppressed than antebellum America, which sparked the rise of the civil rights movement.

Despite all these efforts made by the legislative power to make laws for establishing relationships of respect and integrity towards human beings regardless of their condition, and in those days and even these days do not respect fully the laws, and that even being created, people in this country have tried not going to respect them fools procedures, eg as allow voting who do not guess the kind of riddle, as to who is to rule in writing on the line without explain rigorously, being such an ambiguous statement that simply does rule out several potential voters thus avoiding fulfill their right as a citizen, and restricting the essential part of civil right "vote".

A way to achieve fair employment for all people happened when in 1961 then President John Kennedy, used the phrase “affirmative action” in the United States in which it attributed to Executive Oder 10925”. (Sterba, 2009, p.15) The reality was that businesses needed a way to hold accountability for employee’s r applicants to be treated fairly in promotion decisions and the hiring process. Employment discrimination and segregation was legal in the United States before 1964. White workers and black workers during that time almost never worked together in the same jobs, minorities were grouped in lower paying and less status jobs. During that era, white males held the professional jobs, managerial positions, and the highly
Throughout the years the United States has faced many challenges with equal employment opportunities for everyone. The United States has developed The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, also known as the EEOC, to enforce laws that help prevent everyone from being treated unfairly when it comes to employment options. The EEOC has established stipulations and overlooks all of the federal equal employment opportunity regulations, practices and policies (“Federal Laws Prohibiting Job Discrimination Questions and Answers”). Some laws that have been passed are the Equal Pay Act of 1963, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967. Although some discrimination is still a problem, all of these
In 1964, John F. Kennedy signed the "Executive Order 10925," which would later be known as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission." This law sought to enforce that anyone seeking a job would not be judged for their sexual, ethnic, or religious background. The ramifications of this law had a serious impact on society. On June, 2nd 1965, the EEOC is established and begins work.
Equal Employment Opportunity Laws has changed the way of organizations and businesses recruitment, hire process, retention and even the behavior in the working environment. These changes have been implementing due to the increasing rate of women, pregnancy women, and people with different ages, religion, race, sexual orientation or ethnic backgrounds.
States. However in 1961, President John F. Kennedy first introduced the concept of affirmative action in executive order 10925. Later, it was enforced by President Lyndon Johnson in 1965 as he issued executive order 11246 which gave the Secretary of Labor responsibility for administration and enforcement of the order mandating that contractors not discriminate against any employees or qualified applicants because of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Later, in 1967, he even amended it to include gender! President Johnson clearly saw the issue of discrimination in the work place and in the education system as he stated “this is the next and more preferred stage for the battle of civil rights” (Affirmative Action). Many would not make the argument discrimination did not exist in the time of President Johnson. However, many overlook the fact that it still exists today and how we still need affirmative action. Wouldn’t you find it extremely upsetting
