U.S. EEOC

Under Chair @AndreaLucasEEOC, the @USEEOC is focused on restoring the agency’s mission: ensuring equality under the law—not equity. If you experience DEI-related discrimination, you have rights and a path to accountability. Learn more: eeoc.gov/what-do-if-you…

I had the pleasure of meeting with Chairwoman Lucas of @USEEOC. The agency is doing great work alongside @TheJusticeDept Anti-Christian Bias Task Force to root out religious discrimination, defend Americans’ constitutional freedoms, and ensure people of faith are never targeted for their beliefs.

What should you do if your employer asks you to discriminate? “You should push back… Use the agency as a shield. Point to the statements I have made. Point to the things that are in the law.” @andrealucasEEOC @TheArenaAFL @America1stLegal

The EEOC’s partnership with @USDOL through Project Firewall takes on unlawful national origin discrimination to ensure fair opportunities for all workers. The effort focuses on preventing hiring practices that unfairly favor certain groups, including situations where employers prioritize visa holders over qualified American workers in violation of federal law. @USEEOC has also released resources to help workers and employers understand their rights under Title VII, which protects against discrimination based on national origin. Key reminder: No business reason, whether cost, customer preference, or stereotypes, justifies illegal discrimination. If you think you’ve experienced discrimination, it’s important to act quickly and understand your rights. Learn more here: eeoc.gov/newsroom/eeoc-…

Justice Department Secures $30M Settlement with PayPal Over Unlawful DEI Investment Program “This Department of Justice is delivering on President Trump’s vow to root out illegal DEI from every corner of corporate America,” said Acting Attorney General @DAGToddBlanche. “American corporations are on notice: you will face our aggressive enforcement if you use race or national origin to discriminate against qualified Americans.” Read more: justice.gov/opa/pr/justice…

On this National Day of Prayer, we recognize that religious freedom is a fundamental right that provides every worker in America the right to live and work in accordance with their faith.    @USEEOC is committed to enforcing Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, ensuring employees are not forced to choose between their beliefs and their livelihoods.     Since January 2025, the EEOC has filed 16 religious discrimination lawsuits and recovered over $63 million on behalf of religious workers via public and private pre-litigation voluntary resolutions as well as litigation settlements.     Religious liberty is a cornerstone of our nation, and it should be respected in every workplace. Read more about how the EEOC is delivering meaningful relief and fighting every day to uphold Title VII’s religious liberty protections.

For America to be great, we must always remain one nation under God. On National Day of Prayer, we pledge that America will always, as it is written in Psalm 96, “Tell His glory among the nations”—and that we will never forget God’s role in creating, protecting, & sustaining the freest, strongest, most prosperous, & greatest country in the world. 🙏

For the first time in a decade, @USEEOC has launched a discrimination lawsuit on behalf of a white male. Against the NYT, no less. "It doesn't matter how... big the company is and it doesn't matter what your skin color is... We're here to fight on your behalf." @andrealucasEEOC

Reminder: Workers who use prescribed medications for qualifying disabilities are protected under federal law. “Compliance with the ADA requires more than a one-size-fits-all approach. Employers must individually assess such employees to determine whether they can safely perform their job duties while taking the medication.” — David S. Davis, district director of the @USEEOC’s St. Louis District Office. Learn more: eeoc.gov/newsroom/carls…

BREAKING: The @USEEOC is suing The New York Times Over DEI-Related Race and Sex Discrimination The lawsuit alleges unlawful discrimination in a promotion decision based on race and/or sex. According to the suit: • A qualified white male employee was excluded from final interviews • All finalists selected were not white males • The role went to an external candidate with less relevant experience, despite experience being a requirement for the position “Federal law is clear: making hiring or promotion decisions motivated in whole or in part by race or sex violates federal law. There is no diversity exception to this rule.” – Chair @andrealucasEEOC Learn more: eeoc.gov/newsroom/eeoc-…

FedEx will pay $280,000 to settle an @USEEOC disability discrimination lawsuit after allegedly denying remote work accommodations to dispatchers with disabilities. Let this resolution serve as a reminder: employers must assess accommodation requests individually. Blanket accommodation policies do not allow for an individualized assessment.

🚨TODAY: The Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias published a report detailing how the Biden Administration’s prosecutions, policies, and practices demonstrated anti-Christian bias throughout the federal government. The report details the Biden Administration’s radical efforts to punish Christians and highlights @POTUS’s efforts to restore religious liberty. Read the report here: justice.gov/opa/media/1438…

Republic Services discouraged, then rejected a qualified female applicant for a driver role in Missouri and instead opted to hire a less-qualified male applicant, @USEEOC charged. Federal law prohibits such practices. “The EEOC is committed to enforcing the law to ensure that applicants are not shut out from particular jobs or industries because of their sex.” - Andrea G. Baran, regional attorney for the EEOC’s St. Louis District Learn more: eeoc.gov/newsroom/repub…

The ADA protects workers with disabilities. Often, low and no-cost accommodations make jobs possible for qualified workers. At PepsiCo, a new worker who is blind requested an alternative way to access the company’s computer systems, also called a reasonable accommodation. Instead, @USEEOC’s suit says he was told it couldn’t be done, then he was fired. Now, PepsiCo will pay $270,000 and must improve accessibility and training. Learn more: eeoc.gov/newsroom/pepsi…

These record-breaking recoveries are the result of an Administration committed to upholding our nation’s civil rights laws through colorblind, merit-based, and evenhanded enforcement. This @USEEOC is proud to deliver on that commitment and will continue to fight discrimination wherever it occurs. Thank you to the dedicated agency staff who worked with dedication and excellence to deliver these results on behalf of the American worker!

#BREAKING 🚨: @USEEOC announces historic results delivered on behalf of the American worker in agency reports. Across the board, under the leadership of @AndreaLucasEEOC & guided by @POTUS – the agency recovered a total of $660 MILLION on behalf of workers who faced unlawful discrimination. In fiscal year 2025, the agency recovered $528M for 13,300+ aggrieved workers through pre-litigation enforcement, the highest recovery in the 60-year history of the EEOC.

In addition to monetary relief, Lori’s Gifts will train managers and HR reps on disability discrimination and the ADA, submit reports to the EEOC, and establish a reporting system for employees and applicants. Learn more: eeoc.gov/newsroom/loris…

Applicants with disabilities must be provided with an equal opportunity to seek employment. Lori’s Gifts used unlawful preemployment inquiries about applicants’ abilities to screen out those with disabilities, the @USEEOC charged.
