After reading the Lewis v. Heartland Inns of America case on pages 236–239 of your text, Employment Law for Human Resource Practice, write a 2–3 page case review that addresses the following:
- Explain the legal issues of the case.
- Analyze the final decision of the case.
- Analyze the evidence for sex stereotyping.
- Analyze if this is also a sex-plus case. Explain your position.
- In a dissenting opinion, one of the judges who heard this case wrote that “apparently, the majority would hold that an employer violates Title VII if it declines to hire a female cheerleader because she is not pretty enough, or a male fashion model because he is not handsome enough…” Do you agree? Argue whether the case was correctly decided.
- What, if any, appearance policy would you propose for employees of a hotel?
