ANTI-DISCRIMINATION AND ANTI-HARASSMENT NOTICE
The United States Court of International Trade prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, gender, gender identity, pregnancy, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, age (40 years and older), or disability (“protected categories”). The court provides equal employment opportunities to all individuals, and employment considerations will be based solely on merit, qualifications, and abilities. The court also prohibits harassment based on any protected category, such as sexual or racial harassment, or any abusive conduct, regardless of motivation. The court has adopted the United States Court of International Trade Employment Dispute Resolution Plan (EDR) Plan. A copy of the EDR Plan is posted in “Your Employee Rights and How to Report Wrongful Conduct.”
