[QUOTE="Channahon, post: 179472, member: 7666"] There is a diffence between diversity in the workplace and discrimination. Diversity is based on the demographics of the area you live in. So any large city that is very diverse, the guidelines for the district is to ensure all diverse employees are represented. So if an area is 60% hispanic - 60% of your employees should be hispanic. And so on based on different race classifications. Now can a company comply with those stats - maybe, however, if the applicant pool does not refect those numbers, then it is understandable other races will be hired based on need. UPS is very aware of employment guidelines. Unfortunately discrimination is more complex. That issue goes back to when the immigrants first came to the US. Every ethnic group at one time or another knew what jobs they could get and which ones they could'nt - some being politically driven. And some employer driven. Some jobs were only available if US citizenship was attained (USPS) others based on permanent residency staus, and other based on illegal immigrant status. History and current events being issues to our attention every day. As an example, the recent rallies by illegal immigrants, stating they are not criminals, just looking for a better life, but for whatever reason, they cannot get here legally. So do they have rights in the USA - No I know this is a long post, being a female, and ensuring I developed my employees to get them ready for the next level, (hourly - if they chose a feeder or management )this is an area I took pride in when working for UPS.
