Repost: OFCCP in 2013 Seeks to Facilitate Success for Workers, Employers, Agencies

On January 28, 2013, Bloomberg/BNA published its annual “OFCCP Outlook” in the Daily Labor Report. The article provides a fairly comprehensive look at OFCCP’s regulatory, enforcement, and outreach programs.

Of note

OFCCP Director Pat Shiu on federally funded construction hiring: “We continue across the country to see major disparities when it comes to representation of women, in particular, as well as racial minorities,” Shiu said. “We've got to do something about that because these are good-paying jobs also with benefits.”

“Additionally, DOL's regulatory agency stated that OFCCP plans to publish this coming October a proposed rule that would revise construction contractor affirmative action requirements under EO 11246 (41 C.F.R. part 60-4) that have not been updated since 1980.”
