Since then, several more organizations and individuals BY ANNE MICHAUD The Cincinnati Enquirer Responding to pressure from some African-American community leaders, Hamilton County commissioners are creating a formal process to find job training for women and minorities.

The initiative grew out of a perception that stadium construction would create good jobs for Cincinnati's unemployed.

He suggested that the firm that is chosen should be paid based on how many people complete the training. Jean Kumler of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers thanked commissioners for opening up the process to other applicants. Some union representatives have charged that COATS is anti-union, a charge that Executive Director Greg Sizemore has denied, r.
