EEOC in town Wednesday to help with discrimination complaints

YOUNGSTOWN — A representative with U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission will visit the Youngstown unit of the NAACP from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday to help file 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 local unit of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is at the Cobbin Office Tower, 1350 Fifth Ave., Suite 202. Free parking is available.
