Senate panel backs action on federal employment bias
Sen. Cranston urged affirmative action to curb discrimination in federal jobs for Mexican Americans and blacks. The amendment would authorize back pay, allow federal employees to sue discrimination, and require the Civil Service Commission to draft plans to promote equal opportunity, citing Los Angeles statistics. Cranson noted Mexican Americans underrepresented in top federal ranks and urged investigation of Los Angeles disparities.
