In one of O’Brien’s recent Times stories, she reported on how employees at Lucas’s #EEOC have faced pressure to bring—or keep alive—cases against white men, even when the evidence seems weak. In one case, “employees had to justify abandoning the case of a white man who said he was the victim of #discrimination because he didn’t get a job,” O’Brien wrote. “The job, the office’s review found, went to another white man, and all the other applicants were also white men.”

The [formerly] “Equal” Employment Opportunity Commission [#EEOC] has been pursuing an inquiry into potential workplace #discrimination against #Jewish faculty & staff at #Penn, a #school in Philadelphia, since 2023. While #university officials said they welcomed the investigation, they balked last year after the government issued a subpoena seeking names & phone numbers for members of #Jewish groups on campus.

Federal workplace rights agency says Trump’s government can limit transgender employees’ bathroom usage

FYI: This article is from last month, posting for signal.
"The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has voted 2–1 to rescind its 2024 enforcement guidance, which expanded interpretations of workplace protections for LGBTQ workers and individuals seeking reproductive care.
"The revised policy was repealed on January 22, 2026, following a change in the commission’s membership that gave Republicans a 2–1 majority.
"The 2024 guidance, which was not binding law but offered detailed examples of how anti-discrimination protections apply, had built on the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2020 ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County, which recognized that Title VII’s ban on sex discrimination covers sexual orientation and gender identity

The #EEOC, born of the #CivilRights Act to enforce laws against employment discrimination, said it was investigating “systemic allegations of #DEI related intentional race discrimination” against #white employees & job applicants at #Nike.
The investigation is the first major litigation announced by the commission under Andrea Lucas, its chair, who has made DEI programs a target since taking the role last year.

Update. Yesterday #UPenn filed a 163-page brief in federal court condemning the #Trump admin demand for a list of #Jews at the institution as “extraordinary and unconstitutional".
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/us/university-of-pennsylvania-trump-jewish-staff.html"The #EEOC insists that Penn produce this information without the consent — and indeed, over the objections — of the employees impacted while entirely disregarding the frightening and well-documented history of governmental entities that undertook efforts to identify and assemble information regarding persons of Jewish ancestry. The government’s demand implicates Penn’s substantial interest in protecting its employees’ privacy, safety and First Amendment rights."

The EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) is actively seeking out white males who feel they have experienced discrimination.
The commissioner, a "vocal" DEI critic, even posted call-out(s) on social media.

--Head of workplace rights agency urges white men to report discrimination~
(article from December) -
Waaaah! Someone took my unearned privilege away!!
#Trump said in an interview that he believed #CivilRights era protections resulted in #white people being “very badly treated,” his strongest indication that the concept of “reverse discrimination” is driving his aggressive crusade against diversity policies.
Speaking to NYT…, Trump echoed #grievances amplified by VP #JDVance & other top officials who in recent weeks have urged white men to file federal complaints with the #EEOC.

Update. The Trump admin is demanding a list of Jewish faculty, staff, and students at #UPenn.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/13/upenn-trump-jews-listTrump's #EEOC asked for the list last July. Penn refused, and the EEOC sued the university in November. What's new is that several groups just filed a motion in federal court to intervene in the lawsuit on the side of the university -- the American Association of University Professors (#AAUP, national and UPenn chapters), the American Academy of Jewish Research, the UPenn Jewish Law Students Association, the UPenn Association of Senior and Emeritus Faculty.
From #StevenWeitzman, UPenn prof of religious studies and past member of its antisemitism taskforce: “Part of what sets off alarm bells for people like me is a history of people using Jewish lists against Jews. The Nazi campaign against Jews depended on institutions like universities handing over information about their Jewish members to the authorities.”

Are you an incompetent white male who depends on privilege for your unearned advantages? Did someone hurt your widdle fee fees by accurately pointing out that you‘re incompetent? Have no fear, we‘re useless privileged losers just like you!

As previously reported, the #EEOC even moved to dismiss its own active lawsuits against companies that had been credibly accused of discriminating against #trans & #nonbinary workers. Seawright’s complaint says that the EEOC’s internal non-discrimination & inclusion policy regarding gender identity & sexual orientation, which has existed since at least 2009, was also rescinded by Lucas.
-
“The conditions of my employment have continued to deteriorate & I expect they will become worse as Acting Chair Lucas takes further steps to discriminate against #transgender employees,” his complaint said.
Meanwhile, elsewhere at the agency, #EEOC staff were instructed to stop processing complaints from workers alleging #LBGTQ+ #discrimination.
-
Seawright’s complaint is not only about what he was instructed to do at work, but also about what he was prevented from doing amid the #EEOC’s efforts to “marginalize me & my role.” Among other things, he says he was booted from network systems he needed to do his job & left off meeting invitations about initiatives he was supposed to be leading.
-
Specifically, Seawright was instructed that he had to develop a technological process for the #EEOC to scan & censor “any mention of transgender, non-binary, or sexual orientation” from agency materials.
“Being forced to create the information technology that would systematically erase all EEOC references to transgender, non-binary, or other LGBTQ+ people, given that I am a queer transgender man, was personally devastating & contributed to a hostile work environment,” he said in his complaint.
-
The same month, #EEOC staff were instructed that any recognition of #transgender & #nonbinary people needed to be “systematically erased” in both the EEOC’s internal & external materials, Seawright explained in a formal complaint against the agency in March, before his resignation.
“What made it more disturbing,” he wrote, “was my forced involvement in making it happen.”
-
Before his resignation, the information technology specialist had spent the last 8 years working on projects that enabled the #EEOC to carry out its core mission: preventing & fighting workplace #discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy status, disability, & genetic information….

#EEOC Dir of Information Governance & Strategy Marc Seawright was “forced to resign because EEOC leadership engaged in #discrimination against #transgender employees, including the claimant,” Mary Shea, an administrative judge for the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board, wrote in a ruling this month, determining Seawright had “good cause” to resign in June. As a result, Seawright is eligible for unemployment benefits while his discrimination complaint remains under review…

Under #Trump, Federal #Workplace Anti-Discrimination Agency Engaged in…Workplace #Discrimination
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (#EEOC) was established by the 1964 #CivilRights Act to enforce anti-discrimination laws in workplaces across the country. But under Trump, the federal agency tasked with helping workers who experienced hostile work environments became a hostile work environment itself, acc/to one judge’s recent ruling.

https://19thnews.org/2025/03/trump-battle-reshaping-nlrb-eeoc-labor-boards/ “On Tuesday, the D.C. court of appeals heard discussion over how far executive power can extend, including whether the president has an “unrestricted power of removal” of certain key federal officials.” The National Labor Relations Board #NLRB & the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission #EEOC are both independent bi-partisan organizations created to protect workers. They provide important guardrails that prevent employers from acting in abusive or illegal ways towards their employees. ALL their employees, not just those who are members or supporters of the current party occupying the White House, functions they have been performing for decades. The dismantling of these organizations or even just their realignment towards a more political role, undermines the protections ALL AMERICAN WORKERS rely on & should not be permitted by the courts or workers themselves. If you have a job, it’s time to write, call, & visit, your Senators & Congressperson. #the19th

Headline: The Trump Administration Has Made 150 Million American Workers Newly Vulnerable to Workplace Discrimination
Source: Center for American Progress
From the article: "Essentially, all employees and job seekers, a total of approximately 153 million Americans, benefit from the protections the EEOC provides. The Equal Pay Act—a law requiring equal pay for equal work that the EEOC enforces—covers virtually all employers, while other laws enforced by the EEOC apply to all but the smallest employers. Whether they work in the private sector or for the government, practically all employees and those applying for jobs are protected by the EEOC against illegal employer actions" (Annotations removed for clarity)

For #BlackHistoryMonth, #TechHub has changed our Info-Page Banner to include #ElijahMcCoy.
This isn't an amazing image, just something I threw together for @nicdex to put up, because I felt that putting up Elijah #McCoy's picture reflects who we are, what we stand for, and our thoughts on the world today.
Elijah McCoy's parents escaped from #enslavement in the #US in the early-1800s, gaining asylum in #Canada, and he was born in #Ontario in 1843. Being what we would now consider a "gifted" child, his parents saved money to send him to Scotland to study #engineering when he was 15.
He returned to the US after the Civil War, but could not find work as an engineer due to #racism and #segregation practices: anti-#discrimination programs like #DEI and the #EEOC, had not been established, so opportunities for even the most qualified #black men were scarce, passed up for even less qualified #white men.
