Education and Labor Committee Republican Leader Virginia Foxx (R-NC) and Oversight and Reform Committee Republican Leader James Comer (R-KY) sent a letter to the Chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Charlotte Burrows, seeking information about EEOC’s plans to return to in-person work.
The Members write: “We are concerned EEOC does not have an immediately executable plan for returning its personnel to in-person work…The Commission’s failure to return to work delays justice for individuals who have filed discrimination charges with the agency and are entitled to have them reviewed and resolved.”
The Members continue: “The EEOC’s mission is to ‘prevent and remedy unlawful employment discrimination and advance equal opportunity for all in the workplace.’ However, with no offices open for claimants to file their discrimination charges and no publicly available plans outlining EEOC’s return to regular operations, we are concerned the Commission is not meeting its obligations to workers.”
