Supreme Court Rules Seniority for Black Workers in Discrimination Case
The Supreme Court held 5-3 that black workers who were rejected for jobs but later hired must often receive seniority dating from their original rejection. The ruling, by Justice Brennan, allows retroactive seniority to ease effects of past discrimination, with limits. The decision also covers armed services cases on counsel in summary courts martial and campaigners on bases, and notes potential broader impact for women and minorities.
