Question:

Janet, a twenty-year-old woman, applied for a position driving a truck for Federal Trucking, Inc. Janet, who is 5’4’’ tall and weighs 135 pounds, was denied the job because the company requires that all employees be at least 5’6’’ tall and weigh at least 150 pounds. Federal justifies this requirement on the basis that its drivers frequently are forced to move heavy loads when making pickups and deliveries. Janet brings a cause of action. Has Federal Trucking violated the Civil Rights Act? Explain.
