Is the ruling in Griggs v Duke Power Company is still followed?

Yes, the ruling in Griggs v. Duke Power Company (1971) is still followed and remains a critical precedent in employment discrimination law. The Supreme Court established that employment practices must be job-related and not discriminatory in effect, even if there is no intent to discriminate. This decision underpins the legal framework for evaluating disparate impact claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. It continues to influence court decisions and workplace policies regarding hiring and promotion practices.
