Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

The Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is a U.S. agency that enforces laws against workplace discrimination. It ensures that employees are treated fairly regardless of their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information. If someone believes they have been discriminated against at work, they can file a complaint with the EEOC. The agency investigates these complaints and can take legal action if it finds evidence of discrimination. The EEOC also provides guidance and education to employers and employees about their rights and responsibilities under the law.
