Class: BUAD 3420-90 Labor and Employment Relations
Question:
9.Burns, aged 64, and Smithers, aged 38, were applicants for the position of postmaster at the Shelbyville Post Office. Burns had been the assistant postmaster for several years and was seeking promotion to postmaster as the final step in his career. After interviewing both candidates, the Postal Service Management Selection
Board decided to promote Smithers because they felt he had “management potential to advance beyond Shelbyville.” Can Burns establish a prima facie case of age discrimination under the ADEA? What defenses are available to the employer? Explain. [See Smithers v. Bailar, 629 F.2d 892 (3d Cir. 1980).]
Answer:
Burns can file a suit for age discrimination under the Age Discrimination Employment
Act (ADEA). Burns qualifies to file a suit because his age qualified him as a protected employee under ADEA. Burns was qualified for the postmaster position and expected
the promotion, but Burns was not promoted because the selection board preferred a
younger person. However, the selection board can defend their selection by providing reasonable facts such as the selection process was non-discriminatory and based on qualifications of the applicant. The selection board could claim that even though Burns' qualifications were a considerable factor it was not the only factor for promotion.

Shipping and Receiving
Background Information:
Midge Watson had been working in the Bookkeeping Department of the Best Fits Sporting Goods Manufacturing Company for the four years since she graduated from high school. She was bright, attractive, and popular, and had done well in the company, as her recent promotion to senior Bookkeeper proved. One of her new job responsibilities required Midge to go to the warehouse once a week to check on and verify various inventory and shipment information. This meant that she often worked for three or four hours at a time in the Shipping Office.
In order to reduce the noise from the operations around it, the office was completely walled in. On these trips to Shipping, Midge worked closely with the shipping clerk, Susan Adams. Susan, a veteran employee of ten years with Best Fit, was divorced. Susan maintained all the shipping and inventory information as it was processed. Since Midge had never before worked in an actual manufacturing and warehouse…

Question 1: Should the marketing budget be maintained or increased during a recession or economic downturn? During a recession, the immediate desire of many companies is often to simply cut costs. The marketing department can be selected for this cut and in some cases is the first area cut. One could argue that the marketing spend is the one spend or investment in a company which should be maintained or even increased during a recession or economic downturn.
Take a position: Marketing spend should be maintained or increased during a recession or economic
downturn versus Marketing spend should be cut along with all the other spending in the organisation.

3.4 ETHICS CASE: ASSIGNING COSTS
Adapted from Mowen's "Managerial Accounting (7th Ed.)" Case 4-67
Tonya Martin, CMA and controller of the Parts Division of Gunderson Inc., was meeting with
Doug Adams, manager of the division. The topic of discussion was the assignment of overhead
costs to jobs and their impact on the division's pricing decisions. Their conversation was as
follows:
●
Tonya: Doug, as you know, about 25% of our business is based on government
contracts, with the other 75% based on jobs from private sources won through bidding.
During the last several years, our private business has declined. We have been losing
more bids than usual. After some careful investigation, I have concluded that we are
overpricing some jobs because of improper assignment of overhead costs. Some jobs are
also being underpriced. Unfortunately, the jobs being overpriced are coming from our
higher- ume, labor-intensive products, so we re losing business.
Doug: I think I understand. Jobs associated…
