Question
During an interview, an employer asks a
female applicant questions such as whether she had children, what her page 412
child care responsibilities were, and how her family felt about her weekly
commute between the businesss headquarters in Virginia and the family home in
New York. The employer also asked the applicant how her husband handled the
fact that [she] was away from home so much, not caring for the family and said
he had a very difficult time understanding why any man would allow his wife
to live away from home during the workweek. Is this employers line of
questioning a violation of Title VII? Explain. [Lettieri v. Equant, Inc., 478
F.3d 640 (4th Cir. 2007).]
