(a) The goals in accordance with this chapter are established to encourage affirmative action by all parties who participate in contracts with the City and apply to all contractors and subcontractors.
(b) No contractor shall discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, religion, color, sex, national origin, age, handicap, familial status, ancestry, or Vietnam-era or disabled veteran status. Contractors shall take such affirmative action as is required by law to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to race, religion, color, sex, national origin, age, handicap, familial status, ancestry, or Vietnam-era or disabled veteran status. As used herein, "treated" means without limitation the following: recruited whether by advertising or other means; compensated, whether in the form of rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selected for training, including apprenticeship, promoted, upgraded, demoted, transferred, laid off and terminated. Contractors shall post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided by the hiring representatives of contractors setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.
