Advancing EEO for all. Sharing information here to help you understand and prevent employment discrimination.
About us
The EEOC, U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, enforces federal laws that make it illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee because of the person's race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual orientation), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. The laws apply to all types of work situations, including hiring, firing, promotions, harassment, training, wages, and benefits. We also work to prevent discrimination before it occurs through outreach, education and technical assistance programs.

- President Donald J. Trump has named Commissioner Andrea Lucas Acting Chair of the EEOC. Lucas has served as an EEOC Commissioner since 2020, having been nominated by President Trump during his first term. “I am honored to be chosen by President Trump to lead the EEOC, our nation’s premier civil rights agency enforcing federal employment antidiscrimination laws. I look forward to restoring evenhanded enforcement of employment civil rights laws for all Americans. In recent years, this agency has remained silent in the face of multiple forms of widespread, overt discrimination. Consistent with the President’s Executive Orders and priorities, my priorities will include rooting out unlawful DEI-motivated race and sex discrimination; protecting American workers from anti-American national origin discrimination; defending the biological and binary reality of sex and related rights, including women’s rights to single-sex spaces at work; protecting workers from religious bias and harassment, including antisemitism; and remedying other areas of recent under-enforcement. Our employment civil rights laws are a matter of individual rights. We must reject the twin lies of identity politics: that justice is measured by group outcomes and that civil rights exist solely to remedy harms against certain groups. I intend to dispel the notion that only the ‘right sort of’ charging party is welcome through our doors and to reinforce instead the fundamental belief enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and our civil rights laws—that all people are ‘created equal.’ I am committed to ensuring equal justice under the law and to focusing on equal opportunity, merit, and colorblind equality.” During her tenure on the Commission, Lucas has written and spoken (https://lnkd.in/eY4vtHsb) frequently about challenging and emerging issues in employment and civil rights law to educate workers about their rights, help employers comply with their responsibilities, and correct common misunderstandings about the law. Before her appointment to the EEOC, Lucas practiced labor and employment law for an international law firm in Washington, D.C. Earlier in her career, she clerked on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. Read more about Acting Chair Lucas on EEOC’s website at https://lnkd.in/e3u2xPm6.

It also provides a historical overview of the development of Federal anti-discrimination laws protecting workers. The report includes a timeline of amendments, EEOC guidance, and significant court cases relevant to the civil rights laws that the EEOC enforces—highlighting the ongoing evolution of these laws and the important role that the EEOC continues to have in preventing and remedying employment discrimination and advancing equal opportunity for all. https://lnkd.in/eY_ka7W9

- Today, we honor and remember President Jimmy Carter. A champion for human rights, President Carter left a powerful mark on the EEOC. Under President Carter, Eleanor Holmes Norton was nominated and confirmed as the first woman to chair the Commission. Carter’s administration also made significant changes to how the agency operates, consolidating enforcement responsibility from 17 different agencies and departments to three, including the EEOC. During his administration, the EEOC also was given responsibility to enforce the Equal Pay Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the new amendment to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act – the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978. The end of Carter’s time on office saw the agency contract for the first time with Tribal Employment Rights Offices (TEROs). President Carter’s time working with the agency left an unforgettable impact. The EEOC was forever changed after his administration, and his mark will be remembered. 📷: The Carter Center
