Your Right to Equal Opportunity
It is against the law for a JATC to discriminate against an apprenticeship applicant or apprentice based
on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age (40 years or older), genetic information,
or disability.
YOUR RIGHT TO FILE FORMAL COMPLAINTS WITH THE REGISTRATION
AGENCY OR OTHER AGENCIES
The sponsor must ensure equal opportunity with regard to all terms, conditions, and privileges associated
with apprenticeship. If you think that you have been subjected to discrimination, you may file a complaint
within 300 days from the date of the alleged discrimination or failure to follow the equal opportunity standards
with Pete Chursin, SFJATC 4056 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94112, (415) 587-2500. You may also
be able to file complaints directly with the EEOC, or State fair employment practices agency. If those offices
have jurisdiction over the sponsor/employer, their contact information is listed below. California Department
of Fair Employment and Housing - Bay Area Regional Office, (FEPA) 39141 Civic Center Drive, Suite 250

information:
1. Complainant's name, address and telephone number, or other means for contacting the complainant;
2. The identity of the respondent (i.e. the name, address, and telephone number of the individual or entity
that the complainant alleges is responsible for the discrimination);
3. A short description of the events that the complainant believes were discriminatory, including but not
limited to when the events took place, what occurred, and why the complainant believes the actions were
