From the Paper:

"The key law which we must follow is Title VII. Title VII is the most important federal law protecting against discrimination in the workplace, but it is not the only law. Other laws prohibit discrimination based on age, pregnancy status, citizenship, disability, or union membership. Because of its preeminence in the field of employment discrimination, the Company has provided this handout as an outline of the requirements of Title VII, so that all employees are aware of their rights and responsibilities under Title VII, and are aware of the responsibilities of the employee under this law."
