Richard C. Long, Remedying Discrimination in Seniority
Systems: The Conflict Between Title VII and Executive Order No.

Abstract:
This Note focuses on seniority systems that have discriminated
against employees on an illegal basis. It looks at the conflict
between congressional and executive approaches to established
seniority systems that contain the residue of past
discrimination. It argues for a modification of the executive
seniority policy in order to increase the viability of the
program and achieve internal consistency to facilitate the
elimination of employment discrimination.
