Select one of the agencies and visit its website. Share the administrative law practices for the agency you researched. What did you find most interesting and why? How would this knowledge have assisted you in the past and how may it assist you in the future? Activity 1.3: Federal Labor Regulation U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) To complete this discussion post, my area of focus is the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). EEOC is the fed agency that enforces laws to fight job discrimination and harassment. Some of the complaints of employments discriminations that the EEOC investigates are based on color, race, sex, religion, gender identity, pregnancy, sexual orientation, disability, nationality, age, and genetic information. To achieve its objectives, EEOC enforces the following statutes and regulations. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Rehabilitation Act., Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Equal Pay Act, The Pregnancy Discrimination Act, Genetic Information Non-discrimination Act, Administrative Dispute Resolution Act of 1996, Alternative Dispute Resolution Act of 1998, Sections 102 and 103 of the Civil Rights Act of 1991, The Equal Pay Act of 1963, and The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) among others. The agency processes approximately 80,000 job discrimination grievances directly and cooperates with local and state agencies to investigate about 50,000 other protests annually. The agency must investigate discrimination charges against any employer covered by the law. The agency can either settle the case or file a lawsuit to protect the worker’s rights and the public interests. Interestingly, under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the only group protected from age discrimination is 40 years of age and older. This category of people should table their complaints to EEOC if they are being mistreated at work because of their age. What surprises me is that people below the age of 40 years are not protected by this Act, and all people, despite their age, experience age-related discrimination. For instance, a too- young employee may be discriminated against simply because he is younger than his workmates. Again, I am also surprised to note that there is a strict time when one is supposed to fill a job discrimination grievance. In many cases, one is given only 180 days to table complaints, while in other cases, one is given 300 days. This means one can complain about his employer’s Act while still employed. Knowing the statute and regulations that EEOC enforces, I will apply this knowledge in the future to report any employment-related discrimination action against me within 180 days for my complaint to be valid.

Replies Brandy Hello Brandy, I have looked at statutes and regulations under U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) which is mandated to protect employees from work-related discrimination. I was also interested in learning more about Occupational Safety and Administration (OSHA), so I read our post and replied to you. Your post is very educative and exciting at the same time because you have explained based on something your workmates have experienced. I understand that the mission of OSHA is to ensure that workers have safe and healthy working conditions by enforcing standards and training people. Apart from the air quality and ventilation you have discussed, other key considerations include lighting and noise exposure. Conscientious employers solve air quality grievances by doing routine ventilation, heating, and air conditioning maintenance based on manufacturers’ directives, which Amazon failed to do, in my view. Previously I worked in a company with a poorly done lighting system; I had to quit after I developed a migraine. Hello Andrew Hermiller. You have made a very interesting point about how OSHA has continued to help workers since it was formed. However, the problem is those employers who need to follow OSHA guidelines and standards strictly. Also, most employees do not like to be whistle-blowers because they fear being sacked. I am a victim of poor lighting in the place where I was previously working, where I developed migraine. I am a strong supporter of OSHA. Employers should ensure proper ventilation, well-regulated heating, no noise, and proper lighting, among other working conditions.
