Equal Employment Opportunity Commission vs Chicago Miniature Lamp Works.

http://openjurist.org/947/f2d/292/equal-employment-opportunity-commission-v-chicago-miniature-lamp-works

I need help answering questions pertaining to this case.

1) Would an unbalanced workforce due to word-of-mouth recruiting alone ever constitute disparate treatment?

2) Consider the court's response to the above question. Would your decision be different if it could be shown that, in a certain small, all-white firm, recruiting was done only using word of mouth and this effort resulted in only white applicants?

3) How would you balance the advantages of word-of-mouth recruiting against the possibility of discrimination impact?
