“Today’s vote opens the door for discrimination to be swept under the rug. The EEOC’s decision to stop collecting information about who is in the workforce is a grave attack on civil rights enforcement,” said Katie Sandson, senior counsel at the NWLC. “Eliminating data about the demographics of the workforce not only makes discrimination harder to identify and address; it also makes it easier for the EEOC to justify enforcement priorities driven by politics rather than facts.” She concluded that “the agency will be hearing from us.”
