 | | The EEOC also files amicus curiae or "friend of the court" briefs in trial and Appellate Courts in support of the Commission's position, usually in cases involving novel issues. | | | Whenever the EEOC concludes its processing of a case, or earlier upon the request of a charging party, it issues a "notice of right to sue" which enables the charging party to bring an individual action in court. | | | The EEOC is responsible for enforcing the anti-discrimination laws in the federal sector. |

| | Federal Laws Prohibiting Job Discrimination: Questions And Answers |
| | EEOC is an independent federal agency originally created by Congress in 1964 to enforce Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. | | | All laws enforced by EEOC, except the Equal Pay Act, require filing a charge with EEOC before a private lawsuit may be filed in court. | | | If EEOC decides not to sue, it will issue a notice closing the case and giving the charging party 90 days in which to file a lawsuit on his or her own behalf. |

| | The EEOC's War on Fairness |
| | A federal appeals court ruled in 1988 that "the EEOC statistics were plagued by arbitrary and false assumptions" and found Sears innocent on all charges. | | | The EEOC continually stretches its concept of social justice to further restrict freedom of association. | | | Yet the government agents in charge of enforcing the law have a vested interest in scorning fairness and procedural justice. |

| | The EEOC litigated the case under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) on behalf of a nationwide group of employees with charges of discrimination made by individuals throughout the mainland United States and Hawaii. | | | The high court held that the EEOC may sue for money in federal court on behalf of a short-order cook who was fired after he had a seizure at work. | | | The EEOC is ``the master of its own case,'' and free to decide for itself whether it is in the public's interest to pursue a given lawsuit, Stevens wrote on behalf of himself and Justices Sandra Day O'Connor, Anthony M. Kennedy, David H. Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer. |

| | Because an employee is required to file with the EEOC before filing with the Federal Court, the case can be dismissed from the Federal Court if the Court determines that the Charge of Discrimination filed with the EEOC is not specific enough. | | | Today, the EEOC is also responsible for enforcing other anti-discrimination laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), and the Equal Pay Act (EPA), though the latter provides an independent cause of action in Federal Court. | | | If the EEOC does not file its own case, it will issue a Notice of Right to Sue, and again the employee has only 90 days to file in Federal Court. |

| | EEOC V. WAFFLE HOUSE, INC. |
| | Nevertheless, the court held that the EEOC was limited to injunctive relief and precluded from seeking victim-specific relief because the FAA policy favoring enforcement of private arbitration agreements outweighs the EEOC’s right to proceed in federal court when it seeks primarily to vindicate private, rather than public, interests. | | | The Fourth Circuit concluded that the arbitration agreement between Baker and respondent did not foreclose the enforcement action because the EEOC was not a party to the contract, but had independent statutory authority to bring suit in any federal district court where venue was proper. | | | EEOC, 432 U.S., 368, and, in this context, the statute specifically grants the EEOC exclusive authority over the choice of forum and the prayer for relief once a charge has been filed. |

| | Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Frank's Nursery & Crafts Inc. |
| | Congress granted the EEOC the discretion, upon a finding of reasonable cause, to supplant an individual's legal action by a legal action of its own, for the benefit of the public and the individual on whose behalf the EEOC is proceeding, thereby superseding the individual's right to sue under Title VII. | | | Were we to endorse the district court's construction of the EEOC's cause of action and of Adams' arbitration agreement, we would permit employees nationwide to contract away the right of the EEOC to enforce Title VII by bringing actions in federal court. | | | During that period, the EEOC may distinguish between those cases in which it believes it may vindicate the public interest by filing suit itself, and those in which it chooses not to file suit and instead leaves to the individual aggrieved the decision of whether to file suit in order to advance her own interests. |

| | Discrimination EEOC FAQ |
| | The EEOC is still struggling under a back log of cases, and investigators may not dig into your case the way a private attorney might. | | | The EEOC must then prove that the victim of discrimination was at least as qualified as a successful applicant who is not in the protected class. | | | You can also file a charge of discrimination with the EEOC or, in most states, with a state fair employment agency such as the Ohio Civil Rights Commission. |

| | EEOC Report |
| | EEOC uses litigation software only in the few district offices that have purchased it independently, so most staff continue to search for documents and coordinate case-related paperwork manually. | | | As an organization that enforces federal laws, EEOC has an OGC, which works directly on enforcement issues, and an OLC that provides legal advice to the Chair and Commissioners and develops policy for the Commission. | | | As EEOC pursues its training programs, it could explore whether other law enforcement agencies have investigation training courses Commission staff could attend, or whether its attorneys could attend the Department of Justice trial attorney/litigation skills seminar. |

| | EEOC senior trial attorney Mary M. Tiernan filed the suit along with Philadelphia EEOC regional attorney Jacqueline McNair and supervisory trial attorney Judith A. O'Boyle. | | | The E.E.O.C. receives tens of thousands of complaints each year but is able to investigate only a few and files lawsuits only in those cases that it considers significant and most critical in policing anti-discrimination laws. | | | The EEOC said the waiver violates non-retaliation clauses of federal labor law, including the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. |

| | Also, only the EEOC has authority to issue a notice of right to sue under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, regardless of whether the respondent named in the charge is a state or local government employer or a private employer or a union. | | | The Department of Justice will either initiate litigation on the charge or issue a notice of right to sue to the charging party, which entitles the charging party to file his or her own lawsuit in court. | | | If the charge has been filed against a private employer or a union, only the EEOC has authority to issue a notice of right to sue. |

| | Stanley Kurtz on Center for Individual Rights & EEOC on National Review Online |
| | How extraordinary to have the EEOC itself charged with employment discrimination in federal court. | | | On Thursday, August 8, the Center for Individual Rights filed suit against the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Mel Martinez, and EEOC Chair, Cari Dominguez, charging both agencies with practicing intentional race and sex discrimination, in violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution of the United States. | | | Yet, as the CIR suit points out, the law only allows "narrowly tailored" remedial hiring programs — that is, programs that do not unduly burden the rights of non-favored groups. |
