The hospital's action was in violation of the 1973 Vietnam Veterans Act. This act was passed to
provided reemployment rights for individuals who leave their place of employment to perform military
duties. According to the act, these individuals are entitled to be restored to their former position or to
a position of like seniority, status, and pay.. The 1964 Civil Rights Act provided equal employment
standards, and the 1974 Taft-Hartley Amendments to the Wagner Act allowed for employees of

gave employees of private companies the right to organize unions.
