' Psychological testing is the only means of determining
whether or not a person is classifiable in those terms."
"Then, in case the test purports to show that one of these men is, let's
say, mentally deficient, you intend dismissing him?"
"With the customary two weeks' severance-pay, yes."
"Well, if you do dismiss anybody on those grounds, the union will have
to insist on reviewing the grounds for dismissal."
"My contract with your union says nothing whatever about any right of
review being reserved by the union in such cases. Only in cases of
disciplinary dismissal, which this is not. I take the position that
certain minimum standards of intelligence and mental stability are
essentials in this sort of work, just as, say, certain minimum standards
of literacy are essential in clerical work."
"Then you're going to make these men take these tests, whatever they
are?"
"If they want to work for me, yes. And anybody who fails to pass them
will be dropped from my payroll."
"And who's going to decide whether or not these men have successfully
passed these tests?" Crandall asked.
