Some governmental depart– ments have in-service training programs which help employees to prepare for the promotional examinations. ability. In most cases, when an employee is anchored in a lesser position for a long time, it is usually because of incompetence or indifference, or both. FEPC Law Protects Occasionally, we do find em– plyers, labor organizations and employment agencies that still consider some jobs as "Negro jobs" and others as "white jobs" etc. Fortunately, however, in the State of Oregon under our State Law Against Discrimination in Employment you are guaranteed an equal chance to get a job for which you are qualified regard– less of race, color, religion or na– tional origin. It is unlawful for either em– ployers, labor organizations or employment agencies to discrim– inate in opportunities for employ– ment or promotion because of race, color, religion or place of birth. If you have reason to believe that you have been so discrim– inated against you should imme– diately contact the Fair Employ– ment Practices Division of the State Bureau of Labor in the State Office building, 1400 S. W. Fifth avenue, in person or in writing and explain in detail your experience to them. With this in– formation they will take prompt steps to investigate your com– plaint. If your complaint is found to be supported by any substan– tial evidence of discrimination" they will immediately endeavor to eliminate the unlawful practice..
