Oops! Viacom Shows Its Stripes
Story Link: Here
WASHINGTON, DC — Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) today called for both an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Congressional investigation into Viacom International Inc.'s hiring practices.
According to today's Washington Post ("You Can Tell a Republican by His Stripes," 12/17/04) Viacom's Gail McKinnon sent an e-mail this week to offices in the U.S. House of Representatives regarding a job opening in Viacom's government relations department. The e-mail calls for a male, Republican to fill the open position and reads as follows: "Importance: High We need to hire a junior lobbyist/PAC manager. Attached is a job description. Salary is $85-90K. Must be a male with Republican stripes."
"This is a blatant violation of federal law prohibiting discrimination against women in hiring," Melanie Sloan, executive director of CREW said today.
