Affirmative Action and Reverse Discrimination

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is responsible for enforcing federal laws that make it illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee because of the person’s race, color, religion, sex including pregnancy, transgender status, and sexual orientation, national origin, age (those 40 or older), and those with disability or genetic restrictions (EEOC, 2021). The law covers most employers with at least 15 people. Also covered are many labor unions and employment agencies. These laws apply to all types of work situations, including hiring, firing, promotions, harassment, training, wages, and benefits.
