The Complainant’s veiled references to an affirmative action plan and to a discrimination lawsuit against the Respondent were not enough to establish that the Respondent’s reasons for hiring a female rather than a male were pre-textual. Zurawski v. LIRC (Racine Co. Cir. Ct., 12/22/88).
It is not a defense to an employment discrimination complaint that the DILHR Division of Apprenticeship and Training had advised the employer to test exclusively minority applicants for a two-month period in order to augment certification lists and comply with federal contract requirements. However, the white applicants failed to establish a prima facie case where they did not show that the two-month testing of exclusively minority applicants kept them out of the apprenticeship programs. Brown v. AMC (DILHR, 09/10/76).
