High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! United Steelworkers of America v. Weber, was a case regarding affirmative action in which the United States Supreme Court held that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 did not bar employers from favoring women and minorities. The Court's decision reversed lower courts' rulings in favor of Brian Weber whose lawsuit beginning in 1974 challenged his employer's hiring practices. Brian Weber, a 32 year old laboratory analyst at a chemical plant, was excluded from a job training program that, if completed, would have significantly raised his pay. In an effort to raise the number of black workers in their company, the Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corp., the company that Weber worked for, decided to accept whites and blacks into the training program on a 1 to 1 basis. Upon being rejected from the program, Weber filed a lawsuit, citing Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as the basis for it.
