On Aug. 3, 2016, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) Director Patricia A. Shiu spoke to a packed audience at the 34th Annual National Industry Liaison Group (NILG) Conference held in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The OFCCP is the unit of the U.S. Department of Labor responsible for enforcing the special affirmative action rules and regulations that apply to covered federal contractors and subcontractors. NILG, in turn, is a nonprofit organization originally formed for the purpose of improving communications between the OFCCP and covered employers across the country.
Key highlights from Director Shiu’s speech to the NILG conference include the following:
