But by . the same token, the. county doesn't have a policy statement or a plan that identifies evidence of -past discrimination and lays out steps by which the ef fects will be overcome and corrected.'. This issue surfaced before the Ehirham County Commissioners several week? ago; when Sam Reed, president of the Durham chapter of the National Council of . Senior Citizens urged the county commissioners to adopt an affirmative ac-' . tion policy similar to the city's. V .'. ' Following a long, k .'often heated debate, characterized by comical analogies and biting ridicule, principally from Commissioners Howard Easley and Dillard Teer, the commissioners voted ' 4-1 to ask the county employees bunched in the lower half of the job categories. In the city, for example, 311 black workers or more than half of its entire black' workforce is assigned to the three lowest job classifications. There are 225 service maintenance workers, the lowest category, 61 skilled craft workersiihe next lowest, and 2" officeclerical employees who are : black. By contrast, 310 white city employers or almost half of the city's,, whilj workforce works in the upper three categories administrators, profes sionals and technicians. In the county, the numbers are only slightly different, with fifteen of the county's 57 black men employed as ser vicemaintenance. workers, along with nine of the 170 black women. managed 'btfhg'lfterri a 'About'fiair-oSthWack r repoW'ttral tsfcoWhow female wwteiforctebis many women and blacks Classified as paraprofes- work for county govern ment. . The report is schedul ed to be presented to the commissioners Monday, and while county person nel director Ben Shaw would . hot discuss specifics, research seems to indicate that the com missioners will get a report that also does not discuss specifics,' but rather will paint a positive overall picture of the county's workforce. , For example, of the county's 694 employees, 484 of them are women, and 170 of those are black woman. There are only 57 black men work ing for county govern ment. On the city side, 449 of its 1 168 employees are black, and there are 143 women. From the totals, however, it's not clear if black women are counted as blacks, as women, or twice. So, on the surface, there doesn't appear, to be that much statistically different between the ci ty's workforce and the county's workforce, judged solely on : the basis of the number of blacks and women work ing for the respective governments. Closer examination, however, reveals both differences and tradi , tional similarities. For example, in local govern ment's top job category officials and ad ministrators which in cludes department heads and 'other top govern ment workers, the coun ty has five black men and twelve black women. The city, in this category, has four black men and only five black women. However, eleven of the county's black female officials and' ad ministrators work for the department of social ser vices, perceived by many to be a traditionally "black" slot. - But even in this county department, . there are more white women than ' black women employed, and most of the top level administrators are white men. Both. . governments sional and of ficeclerical. Both of these are in the lower half of the job classifica tions. But apparently, coun ty officials see little wrong a with these disparities, because ac cording to - Commis sioner Easley: "I see no reason for an affirmative action policy or state ment at all. Affirmative action actually is discrimination in reverse." Easley continued by pointing out that the traditional "old boy" system is alive and well in county government. "If two people are equal ly qualified, '.'.i he said, "the decision boils down to who, you know, and how weil you'are known. That's just the way it is," , By contrast, commis sioners Elna Spaulding and William Bell, the board's' two black members, apparently favor an affirmative ac tion policy for the coun ty. In the meeting where the affirmative action argument took place. Bell proposed askiri the county manager to bring the commissioners an af firmative action policy statement that could be voted upor down. His motion diedTfor lack of a second. Mrs. Spaulding, noting that the discus sion was taking place , without benefit of all the facts, moved to ask the manager to bring the employment report to the board. The commis sioners passed this mo tion, with Easley voting against ; it. But . the in structions do not say how specific, the infor mation has to be, or whether it has to detail the categories in-which . blacks and women in the county are employed. There is no indication that the commissioners will r compare. Its workforce situation with ( accepted estimates of the availability of blacks and women for certain jobs in ; the total Durham county Triangle area Jabor market. .
