The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is an official government organization in the United States that enforces laws against workplace discrimination. They provide information, resources, and assistance to employees and job applicants regarding their rights and protections against discrimination based on age, disability, equal pay, genetic information, harassment, national origin, pregnancy, race, color, religion, retaliation, sex, sexual harassment, sexual orientation, and gender identity.
The EEOC also works with Tribal Employment Rights Offices (TEROs) to safeguard the employment rights of Native Americans and Alaska Natives. They collect and analyze data on employment discrimination, conduct investigations, mediate disputes, and take legal action when necessary to ensure equal employment opportunities for all individuals. The EEOC plays a crucial role in promoting fairness and equality in the workplace across the United States.
