The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is responsible for enforcing 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), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. The EEOC receives thousands of charges of discrimination a year. This article examines the EEOC’s priorities in enforcing the nation’s anti-discrimination laws and examines some recent decisions and victories in cases brought by the EEOC.
