This case does not violate the civil rights act because it is protected under disparate impact. Federal Trucking, Inc. wouldn't hire Janet her because her height and weight did not meet the requirements for their job. This falls within the category of Disparate Impact. This means that a employee has "neutral" rules in the hiring process that include a specific group and excludes certain people. "The employer may prevail if it can demonstrate that the challenged practice is job related for the position in question and consistent with business necessity." Federal Trucking has these requirements because the job requires frequently lifting and delivering heavy loads. This height and weight requirement is only in place to protect the liability of the company due to the dangers it involves. It would not be safe for someone of Janet's size, therefor she would not be hired and this is justified.
