The Employment Round Tables

How it all started

The Employment Round Tables were begun in 1983 in partnership with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD) then known as the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH). The Employment Round Tables are composed of volunteers from businesses, public and private employers, and from labor organizations. Their purpose is to create an awareness of the problems of discrimination, harassment and retaliation in employment. The goal of the Employment Round Tables is to reduce discrimination and promote equal opportunity.
