EEOC’s 2009 Agenda
What does the EEOC have planned for 2009? According to EECO Chair Naomi Earp, top priorities include:
- pursuing discrimination charges based on “priority, novel or emerging legal issues in the context of race and color discrimination” as part of its E-RACE Initiative;
- issuing rules under the new Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) and ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA) (click here for more on GINA and here for more on the ADAAA); and
- continuing the EEOC’s outreach and prevention programs, including the Youth at Work and LEAD initiatives.
