Signature of Applicant To: E. M. Marselli, E. E. Smith, Pat Patrick, George Rice, Larry Stanton. The company from the very beginning has taken steps to see that we have complied with section 7.13, "Antidiscrimination," of Contract No. AT-(40-1)-1312 between Electric Energy, Inc., and the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. Our employment practices have been reviewed from time to time in order to ascertain if we were complying with various Presidential orders governing nondiscrimination on Government contracts. Since that time, we have kept you informed of President Kennedy's Executive order as well as the recent FEPC statute passed by the Illinois Legislature and enacted into law by signature of the Governor. We must continue reviewing our employment practices in order to be certain we have not become careless or permitted any oversight that will place us in jeopardy of violating our contract with the Atomic Energy Commission, the recent Executive order signed by President Kennedy or violating the State FEPC law. Each of you are requested to make a personal review of our employment practices and, in the very near future, a staff meeting will be held to discuss any recommendation as to changes that should be made in order to assure ourselves that we are complying fully with all regulations pertaining to nondiscrimination. Although we have taken every means to assure ourselves applications for employment in no way indicates race, creed, or color, we must be certain our security officers and other employees do not notify us, in advance, of the color or race of an applicant being admitted to the premises for a personal interview. All applicants must be considered on their qualifications for the particular job or position for which they are applying. J.G.K. Hon. JAMES ROOSEVELT, UNION BAG-CAMP PAPER CORP., Chairman, Special Subcommittee on Labor, Committee on Education and Labor, House of Representatives, Washington, D.C. DEAR CONGRESSMAN ROOSEVELT: This will acknowledge receipt of your letter and attached copy of testimony which was given recently by Mr. Herbert Hill to the Special Subcommittee on Labor. Our company completed its 100th year as a business enterprise in 1961, and it has always been the company's policy that the consideration governing the progress of an individual's career is his individual worth to the organization. In terms of employment practices in our southern operations, the ability of the company's management to move ahead in fostering complete equality of opportunity is somewhat fettered by areas of employee relationship over which the company has no direct control. For example, the composition of local bargaining units, cited by Mr. Hill as being on a segregated basis, is within the exclusive domain of the bargaining agent under the National Labor Relations Act. By guidance and counseling, and to the fullest extent permitted by law without fomenting strife and disruption of operations, the management of this corporation intends to continue to press in every community in which we operate for the development of understanding of the need to recognize and reward employees solely on the basis of individual ability. We thank you for the opportunity to state our corporate position in this matter. Yours sincerely, GERALD W. VAUGHAN, Director, Industrial Relations. |
