Title VII of the Civil Rights Act

Tn the area of the rights of chemists in layoffs and other serious griev-ances, there is no question that the employee is getting a chance to say more, owing to the assistance of legislation such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the courts, which are now starting to play a role. In these economic hard times the threat of a layoff is very real, both to the factory line workers and the white collar or professional employees.

I join the Court s opinion in full, but write separately to observe that its resolution 2682 of this dispute merely postpones the evil day on which the Court will have to confront the question Whether, or to what extent, are the disparate-impact provisions of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 consistent with the Constitution s guarantee of equal protection The question is not an easy one. See generally Primus, Equal Protection and Disparate Impact Round Three, 117 Harv. L.Rev. 493 (2003).

Manhart, 435 U.S. 702, 711, 98 S.Ct. 1370, 1377, 55 L.Ed.2d 657 (1978), quoting Developments in the Law, Employment Discrimination and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 84 Harv.L.Rev. 1109, 1170 (1971). We hold that Johnson Controls fetal-protection policy is sex discrimination forbidden under Title VII unless respondent can establish that sex is a bona fide occupational qualification. ... 

The Court properly holds that Johnson Controls fetal-protection policy overtly discriminates against women, and thus is prohibited by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 unless it falls within the bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) exception, set forth at 42 U.S.C. 2000e-2(e).

I nevertheless concur in the judgment of reversal because on the record before us simimary judgment in favor of Johnson Controls was improperly entered 212 by the District Court and affirmed by the Court of Appeals.
