1. Springtime operates a distribution center in an old building with 3 floors. While the first two floors can be accessed with an elevator that holds up to 500 lbs, the third floor elevator has a maximum weight capacity of 250 lbs. Thus, with an average weight of 100 lbs per freight load, this elevator can only support a person weighing a maximum of 150 lbs. Springtime has a sign that specifically forbids any employee weighing more than 150 lbs from using the elevator to the third floor, which is used to house inventory. Please evaluate whether this policy violates Title VII.

1. Ron Robin is a salesperson for the firm. As part of his benefits, he is given a country club membership and is expected to entertain Springtime clients at the club, including golf and tennis games. One Saturday, Ron takes a client, Barbara Bluebird, and two of his close friends (non clients) golfing. While Ron and Barbara discuss a bit of business at the beginning of the game, most of the game is spent joking and socializing. Ron trips in a deep hole on the golf course and breaks his leg. Ron has filed for workers compensation; the VP has asked you to evaluate Ron’s claim to determine whether Springtime should dispute the claim.

1. Springtime decides to create a new Director of Marketing and Communications position. This position is responsible for overseeing all marketing for the company as well as communicating directly with the press and other major customers about the company, its news and initiatives. Thus, Springtime includes a requirement that the “ideal candidate will be able to communicate clearly and present a positive image of Springtime Manufacturing”. Both May Flower and June Bug apply for the position and are interviewed by the President of the Company, April Showers. Both May and June have appropriate degrees in Marketing and about the same level of experience. May is a practicing Muslim and so wears a headscarf to the interview, as she always does to comply with her religious beliefs. April asks May the same questions as she has asked June, but adds a question about the headscarf. In particular, she asks May whether she always has to wear the headscarf and whether she has encountered “negative reactions” to the scarf. May answers that she does have to wear the scarf and she occasionally has negative reactions. April also asks several other questions about May’s religion. After the interview, April announces that she is hiring June Bug for the position and cites the “Very positive image” that June will present for the company. May sues for discrimination under Title VII. Will she succeed? Why or why not?

Many businesses in recent years have shifted their energy needs from traditional oil/gasoline to traditionally cheaper, cleaner, and more plentiful natural gas. AT&T, for example, recently replaced 8,000 of its regular service vans with natural-gas-powered vehicles. It believes the shift to natural gas service vans will save it the cost of about 49 million gallons of regular gasoline of the next decade. But what are some of the negatives of this cost control measure? Does the fact that less than 1,500 of the U.S. 162,000 vehicle service stations currently sell natural gas have any implications on AT&T's strategic moves in this regard? What about the fact that oil/gasoline prices have fallen a decent amount recently?
