EEOC union says worker rights are at risk in reorganizationWorkers at the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission are deeply concerned that EEOC administration is on a 'self-destruction' course - a reorganization that will make it impossible for workers to have their discrimination cases fairly heard. Gabriel Martin, President of EEOC Local 216 says workers facing discrimination nationwide will be squeezed by the three step reorganization now in the works. [Gabriel Martin] : "EEOC is the only agency out there that Congress says you are to enforce civil rights in employment. And so if we're not here they have nowhere else to go. Nowhere else to get the cases investigated. They can't get a lawyer and get into court because the law says they need to come here at this point. And so, they're sort of put between a rock and a hard place." |
