Mary applied for a job as a dock loading supervisor for Cargo, Inc. Mary, who was 35-years old, was 5'5" tall and weighed 145 pounds. Although she met the other qualifications, Cargo, Inc. did not hire her because it required all employees who worked on the dock to be at least 5'6" tall and weigh at least 150 pounds. Cargo's stated reason for this requirement was that dock workers were frequently forced to move heavy loads while on the job. Mary filed a lawsuit against Cargo, Inc., alleging illegal discrimination in violation of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Has Cargo, Inc. violated Title VII? Explain
