Coalition urges probe of large federal contractor’s diversity efforts
In a letter to Labor Department officials and a report planned for release Tuesday,the NAACP, Communications Workers of America (CWA) and Strategic Organizing Center, a labor alliance, said they “found disturbing indicators of potential systemic racial and gender disparities” at Maximus, “one of the nation’s largest federal service contractors.” (The CWA includes the Washington-Baltimore News Guild, which represents some employees at The Washington Post.)
