If there’s no data, then there’s no red flags: How to gut civil rights enforcement in the workplace
The Trump administration's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is moving to end the decades-old collection of workforce data on gender, race, and ethnicity, known as the EEO-1 report. This data is a crucial tool for identifying systemic discrimination in the workplace, and its discontinuation is expected to hinder the agency's ability to investigate such claims.
Eliminating this data collection makes it harder for investigators to identify patterns of discrimination, potentially leaving workers without recourse when facing systemic bias.
The segment also touches on the rise in public approval for labor unions, the creation of a mayor's office of worker power in New York City, and the legal theory of disparate impact.
