Fight On Job Discrimination Starts Today
The federal government launches its most ambitious effort to end job discrimination under Title 7 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. leads the new Equal Employment Opportunity Commission which will emphasize conciliation. The law covers employers and unions with 100 or more workers, with gradual size thresholds over 1965 1967 and 1968. Exemptions include governments and religious groups, while enforcement relies on persuasion and potential contempt penalties for noncompliance.
