Carbondale Sets Contract Rules on Affirmative Action Plans
Carbondale contractors bidding on city projects must file affirmative action plans or adopt the city’s plan. Affirmative action officer Cleveland Matthews says no firm has a plan on file and bids will be held until plans include goals and timetables for minority and female representation, training, and promotions. He will report to EEOC and enforcement could cancel contracts for noncompliance citing a Tulsa case as precedent.
