A quick definition of Equal Employment Opportunity Commission:

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is a government agency that makes sure employers don't discriminate against people based on their race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, or disability. They enforce laws that protect people from unfair treatment at work. If someone thinks they have been discriminated against, they can file a complaint with the EEOC, who will investigate and may take legal action against the employer. The EEOC helps make sure everyone has a fair chance to work and succeed.

A more thorough explanation:

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is a federal agency that enforces laws against workplace discrimination. It was created by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, and religion. The EEOC also oversees and coordinates federal equal opportunity regulations, policies, and practices.

  • An employer refuses to hire a qualified candidate because of their race. This is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which the EEOC enforces.
  • An employer pays female employees less than male employees for the same work. This is a violation of the Equal Pay Act of 1963, which the EEOC enforces.
  • An employer fires an employee because of their age. This is a violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, which the EEOC enforces.

These examples illustrate how the EEOC enforces federal anti-discrimination statutes to protect employees from discrimination based on their race, gender, age, and other protected characteristics. The EEOC investigates charges of discrimination and may bring civil suits against employers who violate these laws. Employees who believe they have been discriminated against must first file a charge of discrimination with the EEOC before they can sue their employer in court.
