DOJ Civil Division(@DOJCivil):“Federal contractors must certify that they will make employment decisions—including decisions on how to compensate their hard-working employees—without regard to race or sex, and putting a thumb on the scale in hiring, promotion, and compensation decisions based on race flies in the face of that requirement,” said @AAGShumate. “Today’s resolution, just like the other recent settlements, protects the employees of federal contractors from unlawful discrimination and will hold federal contractors accountable for not following the law.”

The Department remains steadfast in its commitment to eliminating woke, unconstitutional practices from workplaces of companies that receive federal taxpayer funds.” 🔗:
