The EEOC has not slowed down on lawsuits.
I pay attention to the press releases put out by the EEOC, in order to see what they are up to. I often use them as inspiration for blog posts. There seems to have been an uptick in lawsuits they are filing against companies. I am not sure of the reason. Perhaps it is because we are at the end of the fiscal year. Perhaps it is Obama era staffers getting in “shots” before there are changes going into effect from the Trump administration. Perhaps employers have been emboldened with Trump as president and are violating the law more. Who knows?
