 TO ALL EMPLOYEES AND APPLICANTS FOR EMPLOYMENT
Cooper Industries, Inc.’s
Equal Employment Opportunity Policy
It is the policy of Cooper Industries, Inc., to provide equal employment
opportunity for all regardless of race, religion, color, sex, national
origin, age, or disability. This policy includes, not only the hiring of
employees, but any job placement decisions related to job assignment,
opportunity for training and development, promotion or demotion, layoff
or termination.
It is the desire of Cooper Industries, Inc. that all employees and applicants
for employment be provided the opportunity to develop their maximum potential.
For this reason, the company strongly urges each of you to seek out and take
advantage of opportunities as they may occur.
As part of our obligation as an Equal Opportunity Employer, we are interested in
employing and advancing in employment qualified, disabled individuals and
veterans. If you are disabled or a veteran of the Vietnam era, you may desire to
be included under our Affirmative Action Program. If you so desire, we encourage
you to contact the Human Resources Department to discuss the matter. The
information will be kept confidential. The company’s Affirmative Action Plan for
Disabled Individuals may be reviewed in the Human Resources Office during normal
business hours.
It is my strong desire that this Equal Employment Opportunity Policy be carried out
in fact as well as in spirit. We want to do everything possible to provide applicants
and employees the maximum opportunity to capitalize on their abilities.
