Tribal Employment Rights Office

The Tribal Employment Rights Office (TERO) was established to ensure that preferential employment treatment is accorded to the Indian people (the San Carlos Apache Tribe), with first preference to the local Indian people, pursuant to the San Carlos Tribal Ordinance No. 88-04 (Amended). Tribal members have unique and special employment, subcontract, and contract rights and the San Carlos Tribal Government has the “inherent power” to pass laws to implement and enforce these rights.

Indians are protected by the laws adopted by the Federal Government to combat employment discrimination. The Tribal Employment Right Office applies the aforementioned laws and powers (of Ordinance 88-04) to increase employment of Indian workers and businesses and to eradicate discrimination against the Indian people. The San Carlos Apache Tribe believes that the Tribal government can and should play a role in enforcing these laws.
