<br />treated equally during employment, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or
<br />national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
<br />employment upgrading, demotion, transfer, recruitment, or recruitment
<br />advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation;

<br />employee or applicant for employment because such employee or applicant has
<br />inquired about, discussed, or disclosed the compensation of the employee or
<br />applicant or another employee or applicant. This provision shall not apply to
<br />instances in which an employee who has access to the compensation information
<br />of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee's essential job
<br />functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or applicants to
<br />individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such
<br />disclosure is in response to a formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an
<br />investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation
<br />conducted by the employer, or is consistent with Vendor's legal duty to furnish
<br />information.
<br />(iv) Vendor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he

<br />24, 1965, and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of
<br />Labor.

<br />11246 of September 24, 1965, and by the rules, regulations, and orders of the
<br />Secretary of Labor, or pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books,
<br />records, and accounts by the contracting agency and the Secretary of Labor for
<br />purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations,
<br />and orders.
