Subject: IDENTIFICATION OF EQUIPMENT SOLD TO LA COUNTY
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2003 14:21:16 -0800
From: "Los Angeles County"
The County of Los Angeles actively promotes and is committed to
ensure a work environment that is free from any discriminatory influence be
it actual or perceived. As such, it is the County's expectation that our
manufacturers, suppliers and contractors make a concentrated effort to
ensure that any equipment, supplies or services that are provided to County
departments do not possess or portray an image that may be construed as
offensive or defamatory in nature.
One such recent example included the manufacturer's labeling of
equipment where the words "Master/Slave" appeared to identify the primary
and secondary sources. Based on the cultural diversity and sensitivity of
Los Angeles County, this is not an acceptable identification label.
We would request that each manufacturer, supplier and contractor
review, identify and remove/change any identification or labeling of
equipment or components thereof that could be interpreted as discriminatory
or offensive in nature before such equipment is sold or otherwise provided
to any County department.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance.
