Title VII Overview

The video tutorial explains the Civil Rights Act of 1964, focusing on Title 7, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. It applies to employers with 15 or more employees and labor unions. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces these laws. Amendments in 1972 and 1991 expanded the EEOC's role and allowed for damages. State and federal laws interact, with claims typically handled one at a time. Employers can defend against claims by proving a bona fide occupational qualification. The video also introduces subcategories of discrimination, which will be explored further in subsequent videos.
