Which of the following is a common type of claim made under Title VII?

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 primarily addresses issues of employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. One of the significant protections afforded under Title VII is against retaliation. This means that if an employee files a claim alleging discrimination, they are protected from adverse actions by their employer in response to that filing. Retaliation claims are common because they recognize that individuals should not fear losing their job or facing other negative consequences for asserting their rights or reporting discrimination.

In contrast, hazing typically relates to initiation practices, which do not fall under the purview of Title VII. Discrimination based on age is addressed under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), not Title VII. Lastly, negligence in safety protocols relates more to workplace safety standards and is generally covered under occupational safety regulations or tort law, rather than being a claim made under Title VII. Thus, retaliation for filing a claim aligns directly with the protections offered under Title VII, making it a common type of claim associated with this legislation.
