Under the expanded apprenticeship program, apprentices would be allowed to continue developing their skills even during periods of unemployment. A similar pro gram would be extended to journeyman.

The study commission did not make recommendations as to which preference of agencies but said enforcement would be between the Department of Labor and the Department of Adminis tration. Enforcement has been unsettled for several months. A similar measure was in troduced late in the last general assembly but did not pass. The bQl had as co-signers more than half the Senate, which Sebo hoped would have ensured passage last time. She said that somehow during the period after intro duction of the bill many; of the chambers of commerce and large manufacturing firms bbbyed against the measure saying that it would affect the state's right to work laws. Many of the original supporters withdrew from the bill, causing its demise. ' y ; ployment because of age, sex race or religion will have to file - complaints - with - the state Fair Employment Prac tices ' Commission at which time EEOC will defer any action. After final action of the .state Employment Practices Commission, the claimant, if not satisfied, could file claim with the EEOC or sue in state ; or federal courts. f North Carolina's tegislatqrs I W . , Hospital GUILFORD SENATOR Kathtrlne 6ebo speaking to the Raleigh Community Rela tions Commission.

She said' many of the state's businessmen do not like federal investigators. Administrative red tape and politics could cause similar delays and backlogs under a state - enforced law as is ex perienced in the federal EEOC, Senator - Sebo said. -"Having a state law will result in some delays, in some com plaints taking longer to be resolved because you would have to go to the state agency first before you go to EEOC. To me that gamble is worth it. Clearly in the long run it is necessary, to have the state and local involvement and authority to implement the federal law in order for the federal law to be effective. I think that we have got to go that route," ebo stud. . Following several ques tions from the RCRC Commis sioners concerning the law, a motion was passed asking the Raleigh City - Council to support the measure, After the meeting Coundlperson Ronald Kirschbaum said that he would support the measure and seek to get the concur rence of the other 1 council members.
