EEOC to visit, accept complaints of discrimination

YOUNGSTOWN

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s mobile-outreach center will visit the Youngstown unit of the NAACP from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 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.

The unit prefers appointments, but walk-ins are welcome.

The local unit of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is at 16 Wick Ave., Suite 721, downtown Youngstown. Call the local office at 330-782-9777, or email naacpyoungstown@yahoo.com.
