1) The case involving New Haven Connecticut fighters, Ricci v. DeStefano. What's an employer to do? The fire department management it thought the promotion exam had a disparate impact on minorities, and they threw out the test results. White males sued claiming discrimination, and they won.

2) How many times in the news have you seen a company's "export" of labor services to a foreign country because labor is less expensive, likely because employees do not have to be paid as much as employees in the United States?
