Date: Mon, 7 Feb 1994 21:43:00 EDT From: Song Weaver Subject: First Interstate Bank Concedes George Kronenberger, of NGLTF's Workplace Project, asked me to post this good news... ------------------------------------------------ FIRST INTERSTATE CONCEDES First Interstate Bancorp is announcing today that they are reinstituting "sexual orientation" to their corporate non-discrimination clause. The policy change will not only be effective in the state of California, where it was recently dropped, but in all 13 states that the bank operates. The Bank received many complaints, including the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. So congratulations to all of you who phoned and faxed complaints to the Bank's management. This action reaffirms that we must continue to monitor corporate policies and use the non-discrimination clause as a base test for how sensitive a company is towards lesbian and gay employees and customers.
