The discrimination stems from new promotional rules adopted by the City and its firefighters’ union. The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recently determined that the rules have a discriminatory disparate impact on women firefighters. However, the City apparently plans to defend the rules in a court battle. Wed, 02 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0600
