In a striking turn of events, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) finds itself on the receiving end of a discrimination lawsuit. An employee with 24 years of service has filed a complaint against the agency, alleging violations of the very law it is tasked to enforce - Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The case, Kandan v. Burrows, EEOC, was filed in the Eastern District of Lousiana on August 26th. The Complaint alleges discrimination based on gender, race and national origin.

This case is particularly noteworthy given the EEOC's role as the federal agency responsible for enforcing civil rights laws in the workplace. It underscores that no organization is immune to allegations of discrimination and highlights the importance of fair and transparent promotion practices.
