Increased Transparency for Employment Discrimination Cases
New rules require the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to vote on significant discrimination lawsuits before they are initiated. This means decisions to pursue legal action will be more transparent and publicly accessible, potentially influencing how workplace discrimination complaints are handled.
Key points
The EEOC must now vote by majority before commencing or intervening in cases involving systemic discrimination or major resource expenditure.
Information about the votes and details of litigation the EEOC engages in will be publicly posted on its website.
Any Commissioner can require a vote on litigation, increasing oversight of legal decisions.
