Are you being discriminated at work? Were you thinking about filing a claim against the company... well forget it, The EEOC no longer recognizes discrimination against us based on Title VII!
CBS NewsFebruary 15, 2025EEOC seeks to drop transgender discrimination cases, citing Trump's executive orderFebruary 15, 2025 / 7:00 PM EST / APSignaling a major shift in civil rights enforcement, the federal agency that enforces workplace anti-discrimination laws has moved to dismiss six of its own cases on behalf of workers alleging gender identity discrimination, arguing that the cases now conflict with President Donald Trump's recent executive order, court documents say.The requests by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission mark a major departure from its prior interpretation of civil rights law, and a stark contrast to a decade ago when the agency issued a landmark finding that a transgender civilian employee of the U.S. Army had been discriminated against because her employer refused to use her preferred pronouns or allow her to use bathrooms based on her gender identity.[...]Nearly all workplace discrimination charges must pass through the EEOC — at least initially — and the agency's decision to drop at least six of the cases raises serious questions about whether its protections will continue to extend to transgender and gender nonconforming people going forward.
We will from now on need to go to state courts and only twenty-two states have protection for us in employment! Connecticut wants to add protection to us in the state's Constitution (SJ-35) in addition to the state laws!
