Sutherland 3 After calling the meeting to order, John A, White asked 1L£ anyone knew of any discrimination anywhere, Mr. Q-. Ve Williamson said that he had heard some complaints from citizens who feel. that negroes are not getting a fair chance to obtain employment in “white coliar™ jobs. Mr. Graydon explained that the seatbpectente “white collar” jobs have to be filled by promotion. Mr. Sutherland continued by saying that filling jobs by promotion can be a dis- ‘ advantage because sometimes people who barely meet the require- ments have to be hired. Mr. Sut:erland also explained the system * a cLlling jobs by promotion. He stated that when a job is open 4 of b in a department, if any one person in that department—qualifies, he has to be promoted. If no one qualifies-in the department in <= 4 which the vacancy occurs, then any person in the City government cI ; i 4 i 4 4 * * who qualifies is eligible for promotion. The head of the depar. - ment in which the vacancy occurs has a choice of three in City-wide fu promotionals. Ii there are only one or two wno qualify, he may . eff * = . xequest that the job be filled by open-competitive examination. Mr. Coleman askea if the promotional system of filling jobs was a law of the Personnel Board, Mr. Graydon answered by saying get that it was an act of the legislature. He stated that he and Carl Sutherland opposed the approval of the act, but the legis— lature adopted it, Following the discussion of the City's promotional system, C. DBD. Coleman said that he would like to mention the fact that about halt of the negroes who apply for jobs other than Laborer do not pass the examinations. Coleman suggested that a training program be set up to help more negroes pass examinations. Mx. White agreed that a training program would be beneficial to negroes. He appointed Carl Sutherland and C. D. Coleman to work together on setting up a training program. He also approved the a suggestion of Mr. Coleman that a negro be hired to go into the colored schools to recruit negroes for City employment. Carl. Sutherland read a list which included statistics of employment by the City of Atlanta from October 5, 1964, through gene June 30, 1965. After hearing the figures quoted in this list (a copy of which is attached and made a part of these minutes) the ‘ = ace Boog a os members of the Committee agreed that good progress is being made. in providing equal opportunities for negroes for employment with te iP iter le ne ey ene City OL ALLANTCa.
