Senate Democrats repeal Trump s workplace discrimination rule

In the final days of the Trump administration, a key civil rights agency published a controversial new rule to help employers sidestep and delay discrimination lawsuits. Because Donald Trump stacked the agency with Republicans whose terms outlasted his own, the policy was set to remain in place through 2022, if not longer. On Wednesday, however, Senate Democrats voted to repeal the Trump rule by a 50–48 vote using the obscure and powerful Congressional Review Act, all but ensuring the rule’s demise. The Senate’s vote marks a defeat for one of the Trump administration’s most sweeping attacks on workers’ rights.

Revised EEOC conciliation process a win for employers | McAfee & Taft

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog: Last month, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission published a new rule affecting its own processes for dealing with employers under investigation. The conciliation process, which is statutorily mandated, occurs after the EEOC has determined there is reasonable cause to believe the employer has violated an employment statute and is the means by which the EEOC attempts to resolve its perceived issues with the employer’s practices. The new rule, which went into effect this week, mandates a significant increase in transparency and is a boon for any employer attempting to resolve an EEOC investigation without litigation.

The Trump Administration Gutted the EEOC

Illustration by Tim Robinson. When Donald Trump took office in 2017, he installed a number of pro-business appointees to lead federal agencies tasked with protecting workers’ rights. But for the first two years of his administration, things continued more or less as normal at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the country’s sole workplace civil rights watchdog. Ami Sanghvi, now a lawyer at the Marek Law Firm, started as a trial attorney at the EEOC just after Barack Obama became president. Yet even during Trump’s first two years, she said, the agency was able “to do pretty great work.”1 Then, in May 2019, corporate lawyer Janet Dhillon was sworn in as Trump’s choice for the EEOC’s chair, and Sanghvi soon found the kinds of cases she could pursue restricted. It’s part of why she decided to leave the commission and go into private practice in January 2020.2
