What does the EEOC do?
EEOC investigates complaints of job discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin or disability. We also investigate complaints of age discrimination by older workers (age 40 or older). If we believe an employer is violating our laws, we take action to stop the discrimination. In some cases, the employer agrees to make certain changes to its workplace. In other cases, we sue the employer in court to fix the problem. Our services are free.
