L02 Employment Legislation

You will review the most important pieces of legislation at the federal level in this lesson’s textbook reading assignment. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is likely the most significant of them, but we also have the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (also known as ADEA) of 1967, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) of 1978, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 as well as its “upgrade,” the ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA) of 2008, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) of 2008, and a number of court decisions that have modified their application.
