    Workplaces still discriminate, experts say By Mary Jo Feldstein, STL Today
    The International Association of Fire Fighters Local 2665 and FLAME, an association of black firefighters, have disagreed for years about whether the county's fire departments systematically discriminate against blacks in hiring.

    But union president Dennis Murray and the association's president, Airest Wilson, do agree that guidelines, like a civil service exam, could make hiring less subjective and possibly improve opportunities for minority firefighters.
