Supreme Court splits on back pay over job tests in Albemarle case
Burger dissented urging limits on back pay to avoid dampening efforts to reform practices. Blackmun concurred but pressed for harsher scrutiny of bad faith. Powell did not participate. The case from Albemarle Paper Co in Roanoke Rapids began in 1966 with 127 black workers. NAACP Legal Defense Fund called it a landmark in employment discrimination. The court found Albemarle’s psychologist study defective for overreliance on supervisor ratings and noted EEOC guidelines that supervisory ratings alone are insufficient. The Chamber argued EEOC rules are too restrictive and may push quota hiring.
