Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

The use of seniority for employment decisions is protected under Section 703(h) of Title VII if the seniority system is bona fide and not intentionally used to discriminate on the prohibited basis. In International Brotherhood of Teamsters v. United States case the Supreme Court held that the seniority system was protected by Section 703(h) of Title VII. A seniority system may be bona fide under Section 703(h) even if it perpetuates the efforts of prior discrimination, as long as it applies equally to all groups and is not intentionally used to discriminate. The seniority system in this case may lock employees into non-line driver jobs, but it does for all. All city drivers and servicemen are equally discouraged from transferring. The placing of line drivers in a separate bargaining unit is rational, and in accord with industry practice, and consistent with NLRB precedents. The seniority system did not have its genesis in racial discrimination and it was negotiated and has been maintained free from any illegal purpose.
