- Description:
- Consists of documents related to equal employment opportunity compliance efforts at the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Includes a 1970 internal TVA report on equal employment opportunity statistics for minority and women TVA employees, a 1971 TVA planning document on equal employment opportunity goals, and the minutes of a 1972 meeting between E.T. Kehrer, EEOC staff, and TVA staff on establishing a minority apprenticeship program for TVA workers
The records, 1964-1979, of the Southern Office of the AFL-CIO Civil Rights Department consist primarily of correspondence and related reports, surveys, statements, and newspaper clippings. Much of the correspondence is between Director E.T. (Al) Kehrer and various AFL-CIO departments, notably his superiors Don Slaiman (1965-1974) and William Pollard (1974-1979). There is also substantial correspondence between Kehrer and the AFL-CIO state and city labor councils in the South; apprenticeship and training programs; a wide range of groups and persons concerned with community action and social reform issues, principally in the field of civil rights; and political figures. - Metadata URL:
