What to do if our city is EEOC/AA and we have a Deputy Fire Chief position opening in the Fire Department but they have not advertised the position?

Yet just 6 months ago we had the Fire Chief’s position advertised? Do they have to advertise?

Under the laws of all states in this country where a municipality is subject to the EEOC and the AA the deputy fire chief position that you have written about must be advertised via the newspaper as well as other acceptable modes. Your recourse for such failure is to advise the city council of such failure with a demand that such requirements for notice be adhered to.
