[top]United States



Employment practices which do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Such discrimination is outlawed by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. 42 U.S.C. §2000e-2.

Title VII created the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission [EEOC] to implement an equal opportunity policy by working with local agencies, paying the expenses of witnesses before the Commission, affording persons subject to Title VII technical assistance to further compliance, helping to conciliate employers and labor organizations with employees or members refusing to cooperate, making technical studies, and intervening in civil actions on the part of an aggrieved party. The Commission is composed of five members, appointed by the President and approved by the Senate. They serve for five-year terms. No more than three of the five may belong to the same political party. 42 U.S.C. §2000e-4.

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission -- The branch of the U.S. government that enforces equal opportunity laws in workplaces.
