On May 3, 2007, NELA released a report on the obstacles workers and their lawyers encounter with the charge intake and investigation procedures of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The EEOC is the federal agency which is mandated by Congress to enforce many of the country’s anti-discrimination laws in the workplace. The report, Workers’ Rights In Jeopardy: EEOC’s Enforcement of Equal Employment Opportunity Laws Impeded By Inadequate Funding, reports on a national survey of the experiences NELA members face when vindicating their clients’ rights to be free from illegal employment discrimination. The survey was conducted between March 15 - April 2, 2007, in response to the many and on-going critiques by NELA members regarding the EEOC’s charge filing process. The survey finds pervasive resistance to the filing of employment discrimination charges by EEOC personnel as well as inadequate investigations conducted by the agency after charges are filed.#EEOC #Report #Discrimination #LegislativePublicPolicy
