Black Employees at Library of Congress File Discrimination Complaint

Fang-Face writes “Another all too brief article at American Libraries Online. This one about
a class action, discrimination law suit against the Library of Congress. Even though it lost a big law suit in 1992, it seems the library has backslid into racist management practices. Or, at least, is alleged to have.“

    No Change at LC
    So LC was found guilty of discrimination in 1992 and now once again employees have to sue because of discrimination?

    Some attitudes and behaviors need a change that the institution is clearly resisting. Hope to see more about this…which probably won’t get much attention from the mainstream library press.

    Re:No Change at LC
    Is there a mainstream library press? I thought it was a bit liberal library press. There is certainly no conservative library press.

    As a conservative, I detest discrimination in any form. People should be hired and evaluated based on their competence and abilites. I personally do that and I would hope everyone else does too.
