RE: EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES & POLICItS
Sanitation Department
Dear Sir:
We previously requested to be placed on the City Commission
Agenda for the next Commission meeting scheduled for December
16, 1976.
We are in receipt of your letter dated December 3rd, in which
you ask us to postpone our apparance until January 13, 1977.
Due to the urgent nature of the matter which gravely concerns
our clients, we cannot accede to your request, and again in-
sist that we be provided an opportunity to appear before the
Commission at the December 16th meeting.
The essential nature of our concern is the present hiring
policy of the City, specifically as it relates to the employ-
ment of Blacks within the Department of Sanitation.
We believe the Consaision should, at the least, entertain our
argument that the City has not, as of this time, adopted and
implemented a policy which fairly and equitably selects those
• individuals for appointment to managesent and administrative
and supervisory positions within the department.
