- Description:
- The American Indian Nurses' Association is protesting against discrimination by the Civil Service Commission in downgrading the Chief Nursing Branch position to a GS-13 despite the increase in qualified American Indian nurses. They argue that this decision is not only a matter of salary, but also affects administrative structure and Indian self-determination. They point out the unequal treatment of Indian nurses compared to non-Indian nurses in terms of qualifications and responsibilities. The Association believes that this discrimination is a violation of equal pay laws and is hindering Indian self-determination.
