EEOC in town Friday to hear complaints

YOUNGSTOWN — The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s mobile-outreach center will visit the Youngstown unit of the NAACP for the last time this year from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday to accept complaints of employment discrimination based on race, religion, sex, national origin, age (40 and older), disability or retaliation.

The EEOC considers retaliation the firing of a worker who complained about job discrimination, gave evidence in a job-discrimination matter or filed a charge of job discrimination with the commission.

To schedule an appointment, call 330-782-9777 or email naacpyoungstown@yahoo.com.

The local unit of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is located in Suite 721 in the PNC Bank Building at Wick Avenue and Commerce Street in downtown Youngstown.
