EEOC Response

  Please make a response to the following, are you in agreement or disagreement. Having had some experience in my previous masters focused in HR, I was very familiar with EEOC and other labor relations law such as affirmative action ect. After reviewing the site for commonly asked questions I came across the question " If EEOC finds I was discriminated against, will it take the case to court on my behalf?" The response to this was a bit concerning. EEOC came back with the response that if they find that there is a violation that they will attempt to settle through voluntary settlement. If a settlement is not reached then they will refer you to the legral staff for review to determine whether or not a a lawsuit will be filed. As the response state "Not every where there is a violation found, will there be a lawsuit filed." They then proceed to state that they will give the employee additional information to take action into their own hands if necessary and will issue the employee a "Right-to-Sue", which is a legal notice that allows the employee to file in Federal or state court within 90 days of receipt of the notice. I was a bit alarmed by the EEOC and their attempt to represent all employees that have been determined discriminated against. I do understand that there are thousands of cases that come through the EEOC and that there is only so much legal man power for this; However, I feel that the EEOC should stand by the employee all the way through if it is determined that they have been discriminated. I would say that they need to rethink or reconfigure the process the legal representation for the employee if it is determined they have been discriminated against.
