Wards Cove Packing Company operated canneries in remote areas of Alaska. The workers in the canneries were primarily Filipinos and native Alaskans. These jobs were unskilled, and the pay was low. The workers in non-cannery jobs were primarily white. These positions were highly skilled and highly paid. Antonio was a canner, and he sued for employment discrimination. He claimed that the difference in the composition of the cannery and non-cannery workforces established that Wards Cove was illegally discriminating. Will he prevail? (Wards Cove Packing Company v. Antonio, 109 S. Ct. 2115)
