Valdez Oil Spill

In response to the oil spill disaster in Prince William Sound, Alaska some years ago, Exxon initiated a company policy that required company employees with alcohol problems to step forward and identify themselves. In return, Exon provided rehabilitation and other assistance. However, they also put these alcoholics on a list prohibiting them from getting certain high risk jobs, i.e. Captain, helicopter pilots, refinery unit operators, etc.

Then over 60 Exxon Employees complained to the EEOC that this constituted a violation of their rights under the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act, and the EEOC brought a suit against Exxon. This is a battle of the big boys; an open war between the largest company in the world in terms of capitalized market value versus a dominant federal agency.

Question:

1) What is the ADA and what do you have to show in order to get relief under this act and what kind of relief must an employer provide to someone who qualifies? How could Exxon have handled this differently?

Question:

2) What is the difference between reverse discrimination and affirmative action? In an ideal world, individuals would be hired based solely on their qualifications. However, the majority of CEO’s are white males. Does this mean that others are not qualified? Take away affirmative action laws, can we rely on corporations to “do the right thing” and reach out to hire women, minorities, gays, and others? Your thoughts?

Question:

3) A common practice in the financial world is for a creditor to sell or transfer a debt (i.e. mortgage) to another institution. What rights should a debtor have if a creditor is going to transfer the debt to someone else?
