EEOC sued for refusing to enforce protections for trans workers
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and its acting chair, Andrea Lucas, were accused of failing to enforce protections for transgender workers in a lawsuit filed on Tuesday by Democracy Forward and the National Women’s Law Center.
In their complaint, the groups argue that the EEOC’s non-enforcement policy denies complainants’ access to the investigative processes, dismisses active cases brought on their behalf, and blocks payments to state and local civil rights agencies.
