No one signs up for workplace harassment.
Admiral Theatre will pay $200,000 and implement enhanced workplace protections to settle a @USEEOC lawsuit alleging sexual harassment, race discrimination, and retaliation against entertainers at the Illinois nightclub.
The settlement requires harassment prevention training, stronger complaint procedures, and additional measures to help protect workers from discrimination and harassment by customers.

“Workplace rules and incentives for vaccinations must fully comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, including the requirement to provide religious accommodations, absent undue hardship.” – Chair @AndreaLucasEEOC
Federal law requires employers to reasonably accommodate sincerely held religious beliefs unless doing so creates an undue hardship.
Employers must take those obligations seriously.

There is no “DEI Exemption” to longstanding federal anti-discrimination law.
Employment decisions based on race or sex can violate Title VII, regardless of intent.
This includes hiring, firing, and promotions as well as access to training, fellowships, mentorships, workplace events or other benefits.

“Are you going to say that the solution is a perpetual victim complex?”
At the #FortuneWorkplaceSummit, EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas claimed that addressing historical discrimination should not require "present discrimination," arguing that that approach creates “an endless cycle” of oppression and power struggles. bit.ly/4eTeJdg

When a qualified job applicant asks for an accommodation to participate in an interview, employers must consider the request, not shut them out of the hiring process.
Walmart failed to provide an ASL interpreter for a qualified, deaf job applicant and then ended the hiring process, the @USEEOC charged.
In addition to monetary relief for the applicant, the resolution in the case also requires Walmart to maintain a list of ASL interpreters and institutes training requirements for those involved in the hiring process on how to accommodate applicants with disabilities.

Hon. Andrea R. Lucas, Chair, U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, on what a conservative view of civil rights law looks like:
“Executing only within that inch, not an inch beyond the scope Congress gave us. So we will not be interpreting Title VII. We will not be expanding and twisting things into something that reshapes what Congress gave us. But we will absolutely enforce what Congress wrote. What Congress wrote was that all individuals are created equal under God, that every person should be judged solely on merit and what they can bring to the workplace, and not on their skin color or sex. That is a beautiful vision of our world, and it is one the agency can absolutely enforce on.”

“We don’t have a narrower mandate. We have a broader mandate.”
At the #FortuneWorkplaceSummit, EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas defended the agency’s approach to workplace discrimination enforcement under the Trump administration, saying the EEOC is continuing to pursue claims on behalf of workers “of every single race and both sexes” rather than prioritizing one group over another. bit.ly/4eTeJdg

For at least the last decade, Central Transport repeatedly and unlawfully rejected qualified female driver applicants due to their sex, @USEEOC charged.
Some women reported their applications were thrown away or that managers were instructed not to hire female drivers.
In addition to significant monetary relief – over $5 million paid directly to victims of this unlawful sex discrimination – impacted applicants will be given an opportunity to apply for available positions in the company.

It shouldn’t be breaking news: American civil rights laws are designed to protect Americans.
And it’s absurd for American citizens to be at a disadvantage — in American workplaces — simply for being American and speaking English.
@AndreaLucasEEOC is committed to enforcing Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 on behalf of American workers who face discrimination based on their national origin.
#ICYMI: Last week, the agency took decisive action, filing suit against a New Mexico construction company after at least two employees were subjected to anti-American slurs by their Mexican coworkers and mocked over their lack of Spanish fluency, according to the charge.
The @USEEOC will not stand by and allow anti-American bias to infect this nation’s workplaces.
