The big talent agencies violate the civil rights laws

[NYNEX]

I was looking around at the EEOC, the federal agency that enforces civil rights laws, and I found something interesting.

Any employer in ANY industry that hires more than 15 people is bound by the EEOC laws. And under said laws, a company cannot have a recruitment process that disproportionately excludes people on the basis of race, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability.

Unfortunately, the insane requirement that the big agencies have towards people getting industry referral totally disproprotionately blocks out people across all categories, and is illegal.

So along those lines, I filed a complaint, the EEOC took it, and is investigating a couple of the big three. If any of you have your own grievances, feel free to contact the EEOC and let's push to reform the industry. These people are not goods, and they have to follow the law just like any other industry.
