When dealing with face-to-face interactions with clients, a company must be careful to adhere to the general expectations of that client. Moreover, If the employees do not have an acceptable grooming standard to follow and if this lack of standard causes the customers to feel uncomfortable, it could cause the patron to reconsider not using FedEx and switch to a competitor’s company, such as UPS.
If clients began moving their business to the competitors, this would cause a loss in profitability to FedEx and thusly would not be considered a reasonable accommodation. Additionally, under the Title VII regulation, this would be considered a policy that is enforceable because FedEx could use the case of “Fountain v. Safeway Stores, Inc., which
It was a normal early morning Thursday for Ebony Archie (Miss Archie) in Jackson Mississippi. Miss Archie was on her way home with her son and decided to run into her local Kroger grocery store. Leaving her six-year-old in the backseat with the keys in the ignition, Miss Archie entered the grocery store.

Immediately after realizing this, Miss Archie called the police who then issued an Amber alert for her six-year-old son Kingston Fraser (Kingston). Police obtained security footage from the local Kroger which showed three young African American men pulling into the Kroger parking lot all in different vehicles. One of these men then
In determining whether a genuine issue of the material fact whether a genuine issue of material fact occurs regarding the reasonableness of the requested accommodation, we first examine whether Turners facial presenting that her proposed accommodation is possible. If appellant has made out a prima facie showing, the load then shifts to prove a favorable defense, that the accommodations requested by Turner are unreasonable or would cause an undue hardship on the employer. In contrast, If Turner has satisfied her initial burden, Turners proposed accommodation seems practical. At this time, Hershey rotations policy is new one which had never been required of employees in Turners position. If Turner's proposed accommodation would permit the new rotation program to endure, even though on a modified basis. Under Turners proposed accommodation, each inspector could continue to rotate on the hourly basis, with Turners, herself, rotating only between line 8 and 9. Hershey has not put up with that because this is not practical or

The Tribunal exemplified multiple reasons that the prayer was discriminative and reasons of how they come to the conclusion that the Council was compelling individuals into taking part of a religious practice. First, defining harm and who is harmed in this situation is important. The harm was affecting people emotionally who were not religious and authority figures were using their power to force people into take part of a religious practice. The Council had the right to express their right to freedom and conscience but their right was conflicting with others who did not share the same religious belief. They used their authority to convey their beliefs, which breaches religious neutrality. Therefore I would agree with the final decision of the Tribunal.

When Dred Scott v. Sandford was decided in 1857, it made an enormous impact on the United States. It riled up both pro- and anti-slavery Americans. It angered many Americans in an extreme example of judicial activism. Some say it made the Civil War inevitable. By the time the dust had settled and the 13th and 14th Amendments reversed the Court’s decision, Dred Scott could be considered one of the worst Supreme Court decisions of all time. And yet, although the case was egregiously wrong, it still can be considered a “great case”.

FedEx has two major customers who consist of businesses and individual customers. These business customers have accounts with FedEx to arrive at their location to pick up packages daily or weekly. Two-thirds of FedEx’s business comes from these customers so FedEx curves their operations to satisfy this clientele. Since FedEx’s competition is trying to acquire some of this clientele they have begun to operate and market to this clientele more effectively. Individual customers are also in FedEx’s internal environment. These customers represent one-third of their business. With increased competition from competitors FedEx has marketed to this market substantially. They have created boxes that are prepaid for shipment as long as the contents fit into the box. This has effectively increased business amongst individual customers for FedEx.
