In all its activities, the Port takes its nondiscrimination obligations under the law seriously, including its obligations under state and federal funding agreements.  The Port does not discriminate against any employee, applicant, customer, or user based on characteristics such as race, color, age, religion, sex, disability, genetic information, or national origin. 

Every Port contractor is similarly required to follow the law in performing work under any state or federal funded Port contract, including the legal obligation to not discriminate on characteristics such as race, color, age, religion, sex, disability, genetic information, or national origin in employment practices, the selection and retention of subcontractors, and procurements of materials and equipment.  In the event a Port contractor fails to comply with its nondiscrimination obligations, the Port will investigate its options to cancel, terminate, or suspend in whole or in part the applicable contract.
