§ 15-92. Unlawful employment practices.

It shall be an unlawful employment practice, except where based upon applicable national security regulations established by the United States, by the state or by any political subdivision of the state having jurisdiction in the city:

(1)

For any employer to refuse to hire any person, or otherwise to discriminate against any person, with respect to hiring, tenure, compensation, promotion, discharge or any other terms, conditions or privileges directly or indirectly related to employment, because of race, color, sex, religion, ancestry, national origin, age, place of birth, or handicap unless such action is related to a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary to the normal operation of the employer's business or enterprise.

(2)

For any employer, employment agency or labor organization to establish, announce or follow a policy of denying or limiting, through a quota system or otherwise the employment or membership opportunities of any person or group of persons because of race, color, sex, religion, ancestry, national origin, age, place of birth or handicap; except as provided by section 15-95 of this chapter.

(3)

For any employer, labor organization, employment agency or any joint labor-management committee controlling apprentice training programs to deny to or withhold from any person the right to be admitted to or participate in a guidance program, an apprenticeship training program, an on-the-job training program or any other occupational training program because of race, color, sex, religion, ancestry, national origin, age, place of birth, or handicap.

(4)

For any employer, employment agency or labor organization to require of any applicant for employment or membership any information concerning race, color, sex, religion, ancestry, national origin, age or handicap.

(5)

For any employer, employment agency or labor organization to publish or circulate, or to cause to be published or circulated, any notice or advertisement relating to employment or membership which indicates any discrimination because of race, color, sex, religion, ancestry, national origin, age or handicap.

(6)

For any employment agency to fail or refuse to classify properly or refer to employment or otherwise to discriminate against any person because of race, color, sex, religion, ancestry, national origin, age, place of birth or handicap.

(7)

For any employer substantially to confine or limit recruitment or hiring of employees, with intent to circumvent the spirit and purpose of this division, to any employment agency, employment service, labor organization, training school, training center or any other employee-referring source which serves persons who are predominantly of the same race, color, sex, religion, ancestry, national origin, age, place of birth, or handicap.

(8)

For any labor organization to discriminate against any person in any way which would deprive or limit his employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect his status as an applicant for employment or as an employee with regard to tenure, compensation, promotion, discharge or any other terms, conditions or privileges directly or indirectly related to employment because of race, color, sex, religion, ancestry, national origin, age, place of birth, or handicap unless such action is related to a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary to the normal operation of the employer's business or enterprise.

(9)

For any employer, employment agency or labor organization to discriminate against any person because he has made a valid complaint, testified or assisted in any legal manner in any investigation or proceeding under this division.

(10)

For any person, whether or not an employer, employment agency or labor organization, to aid, incite, compel, coerce or participate in the doing of any act or prevent enforcement of the provisions of this division or to attempt directly or indirectly to commit any act declared by this division to be an unlawful employment practice.
