AT&T – A Strong History of Equal Opportunity Support
EEO Policy Statement (excerpt)
It has been AT&T's long-standing tradition, as well as our corporate policy, to treat each individual with dignity and respect.-- Robert E. Allen, January 1990
AT&T Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Policy -- 1989
AT&T policy is to provide equal opportunity to all employees. Employees are not permitted to discriminate in recruiting, hiring, terminating, promotions, salary treatment, or any other condition of employment or career development, or to harass employees or individuals with whom the Company does business, on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, "handicap," sexual preference or orientation, marital status, or status as a special disabled veteran or veteran of the Vietnam Era.-- AT&T Code of Conduct, January 1989
AT&T Sexual Orientation Policy -- 1975
An individual's sexual preferences are not criteria for becoming an employee or remaining an employee of the Bell System. Job retention and promotability are based upon demonstrable job performance and behavior. An individual's sexual tendencies or preferences are strictly personal and information about these matters should not be sought out by Company personnel.Our policy position indicates both our ongoing efforts to end discrimination in employment of all types and society's new attitude towards its members. I believe it is straightforward and indicates our effort to respect the human rights of our employees or prospective employees.
-- John DeButts, AT&T Chairman, March 4, 1975
