EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission)

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is a federal agency that enforces laws preventing workplace discrimination. Its role is to ensure that employers provide fair treatment to employees and job applicants regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information. The EEOC investigates discrimination complaints, helps resolve disputes, and promotes equal opportunity in employment. If someone believes they have been unfairly treated at work due to these protected categories, they can file a complaint with the EEOC, which then takes appropriate action to address the issue.
