Equal Opportunity Commission (EEOC)

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is a U.S. federal agency responsible for enforcing laws that make it illegal to discriminate against job applicants or employees based on characteristics like race, gender, religion, disability, or age. It investigates complaints, mediates disputes, and can file lawsuits against employers who violate these laws. The EEOC aims to ensure fair treatment in the workplace, promoting equal opportunities for all individuals in their employment practices.
