Practice question
A qualified solo-parent worker claims that Section 7 guarantees a promotion regardless of job qualifications and immunizes every unrelated proven violation of lawful workplace rules. The employer responds that it may discriminate whenever it invokes management prerogative. Which assessment is correct?
- Both positions are correct.
- The worker has an absolute promotion guarantee.
- Management prerogative overrides the statute.
- Solo parents have no protection unless promoted.
- Both positions are overbroad: status-based discrimination is prohibited, while legitimate qualifications and lawful rules remain relevant.
