According to Reed, Shedd, Morehead and Corley (2004), the provisions of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 apply to employers with 15 or more employees. They also cover labor unions and certain others (see box, below). The major purpose of these laws is to eliminate job discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Discrimination for any of these reasons is a violation of the law, except that employers, employment agencies, and labor unions can discriminate on the basis of religion, sex, or national origin where these are bona fide occupational qualifications (BFOQs) reasonably

necessary to normal business operations. Title VII also permits discrimination

if it results unintentionally from a seniority or merit system.
