EEOC

EEOC is the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a federal agency responsible for enforcing laws that make it illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee because of a person's race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information. The EEOC investigates discrimination complaints, mediates disputes, and litigates cases against private employers. It also provides guidance and education about discrimination laws and works with various stakeholders to ensure compliance and fairness in the workplace. The agency's programs and initiatives aim to promote equality and eliminate unlawful employment practices.
