What is the difference between the civil rights act of 1964 and 1968?
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 forbid the discrimination due to race and gender. The EEOC was also established at this time making it unlawful to discriminate based on sex, race, national origin, religion and sexual orientation. The Civil Rights Act of 1991 opened the door for an individual to sue for damages if the employer did in fact discriminate against someone based on those reasons listed. Title VII also made it illegal for employers to have applicants take an aptitude test, if they could not prove that the test was job related.

Can an employer discriminate against someone with ADD?
No one should be discriminated against. However, if the disorder interferes with his/her ability to do the job as required its another story. You cannot expect an employer to sacrifice productivity, efficiency, and proficiency, just because an employee has a disorder. Its not fair to the company, other employees, and customers/clients. The employer should display some social responsibility by attempting to help the individual, however it also depends on the size and ability of the organization to provide such services.

Can employers discriminate against you for being part of a class action lawsuit against your former employer?
In general employees can discriminate for any reason other than those specified in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which stipulates: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. So technically an employer could discriminate based on most anything you could imagine. Practically speaking, how would an employer ever be aware that a potential employee was part of a class action lawsuit? This strikes me as an unwise topic to bring up during an interview. Definitely not the thing to add when the interviewer asks about anything else you'd care to share.

Can an employer discriminate against a health safety representative?
In the US there are still some grounds on which an employer is permitted to discriminate. Among them is "not doing a good job" and "misuse of company resources." Being a health and safety representative does not insulate you from the consequences of poor performance, etc. However, an employer is not permitted to discriminate against any employee for raising reasonable concerns about health and safety in the workplace, and a health and safety representative would be expected to do that, perhaps more than other employees.

No. An employer isn't supposed to discriminate against any one for any reason.

The latter is usually not allowed. The former depends on the company.
