§ 101343 Labor Organization Anti-Discrimination Rules

This law says you can't make deals with a labor group that treats workers unfairly because of protected traits, and the district itself can't treat job applicants unfairly for those same reasons.

Key Takeaways

  • •No contracts with labor groups that discriminate against employees for protected reasons.
  • •The district must not discriminate when hiring or employing anyone for those same reasons.
  • •A labor group can still bar people who try to violently overthrow the government.

Example

A city wants to hire a union to provide janitorial services, but the union only lets people of a certain race join.

Because the union is discriminating based on a protected trait, the city cannot sign a contract with that union under this law.
