A statement on Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility
M&F’s Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action Policy is to apply to all employees and applicants.
It is M&F’s policy to provide equal employment opportunity to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, sex, color, creed, religion, national origin, age, disability, marital status or sexual orientation in accordance with all applicable laws, directives and regulations of federal, state and city entities. This policy applies to all the terms and conditions of employment including, but not limited to hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leave of absence, compensation and training.
