Sorry, but the EEOC ignores these complaints. They are only interested in complaints from “people of color”. (Such a silly expression)
IF the EEOC declines the case, you have a private right of action and can sue personally — and keep the money.
“Sorry, but the EEOC ignores these complaints.”
The employers won’t ignore a few hundred lawsuits.
L
File them anyhow. It’s in the statutes. Force the EEOC.
It doesn’t matter whether the EEOC likes it or not, They must issue you a “Right To Sue Letter” unless the substance of your complaint has nothing to do with Title 7 protections.
The EEOC actually prosecutes a tiny fraction of the cases that are presented to them and generally only cases that have broader implications, like a national chain discriminating against their employees or when dealing with a discrimination complaint on the edges of the law as to set precedent or further establish the legitimacy of a certain type of discrimination complaint.
The EEOC very much likes high profile cases.
Personallu sue the company. Then sue the EOCC.
“They are only interested in complaints from “people of color”. (Such a silly expression)”
It grows more and more tiresome and silly. I was born in 1944 in South Carolina where we used to refer to “colored people” to show some respect rather than using other words. Most “colored people” appreciated that at the time but later on they decided that it was disrespectful and they preferred to be called black but then they decided to my amazement that they should not be called black but “African-American” even though the term properly refers to someone who originally lived in Africa but became an American citizen, not someone who is descended from Africans. Now, lo and behold, they are “people of color” I see no difference between colored people and people of color, it is enough to make a sensible person puke. I simply say black people, if they can call me white I can call them black.
