In the case of ________, it was determined that a test for promotion of firefighters to certify test scores was discarded because no blacks and a very small number of Hispanics qualified for promotion at the fire company.

Answer:

Ricci vs. DeStefano

Explanation:

This case is a US labor law case that occurred in 2009, where twenty (20) firefighters at the New Haven Fire Department claimed to be discriminated against because they were refused promotion despite the fact that they passed the test.

More noticeably, no blacks and a very small number of Hispanics qualified for the promotion.

The result of the lawsuit was that $2 million was paid to the firefighter plaintiffs and New Haven reestablished the results and promoted 14 out of the 20 plaintiffs. For fees and costs, their attorney Karen Lee Torre was paid $3 million.
