"Ban the Box" campaign shows results

Kingston, NY - Today, Ulster County Executive Mike Hein signed an Executive Order which will restructure the County's employment application and process, eliminating an area for potential discrimination and bias.  This action by way of Executive Order is the first of its kind among counties in the State of New York and embraces the core provision of the "Ban The Box" campaign, creating a fairer hiring process by eliminating the risk of institutional bias based upon an individual's past history when they apply for employment. -
