"Resolving Discrimination: Employers, Employees, and Charges of Employment Discrimination" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the The Law and Society, J.W.

Abstract: Although over 80,000 workers charge their employers with unlawful discrimination annually, less than 15% of these charges result in outcomes favorable for the complainant. By merging EEO-1 data with charge data provided by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission into a longitudinal data set, I am able to investigate the conditions under which discrimination charges result in favorable outcomes for complainants. Specifically, I examine how the nature of the workplace dispute, characteristics of the complainant, and the organizational resources of the accused firm affect charge outcomes. Preliminary results suggest that charges citing race or national origin discrimination and those involving personnel disputes are less likely to result in outcomes favorable for the complainant. Charges brought against racially segregated firms are more likely to result in favorable outcomes for complainants. Finally, employers that receive repeat charges are more likely to prevail, suggesting that previous experience resolving charges gives employers an edge in resolving subsequent disputes. The theoretical and policy implications of these findings are discussed. |
