EEOC Prioritizes National Origin Discrimination Enforcement

The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued a press release announcing a new one-page technical assistance “Fact Sheet” regarding national origin discrimination.

The EEOC also updated its national origin discrimination guidance page, which provides information about “what national origin discrimination can look like in the workplace” and how employees may obtain EEOC assistance if they feel they have been the victim of discrimination.

The new guidance makes good on EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas’ announcement vowing to protect American workers from “Anti-American bias.”
