EEOC Sued for Employment Discrimination

/

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.

The Vanishing Jury Trial: Fifth Circuit Continues To Be A Difficult Place To Get A Jury Trial In Discrimination Cases

/

Juries are meant to be the conscious of the community. Jury trials are the purest form of democracy in action. They act as a pressure relief valve of sorts for society and allow the people to have a say in determining what is acceptable behavior and what is not. By preventing the vast majority of discrimination cases from ever getting to a jury, the courts are effectively plugging up society’s pressure relief valve. And eventually, if things continue down this road, that pressure is likely to blow up.
