Reorganization Specifics

Reorganization plan puts more Americans at risk for workplace discrimination
The plan to restructure the EEOC puts more Americans at risk of workplace discrimination and makes it more difficult for those who have been discriminated against to seek redress. Analysis of the redistricting plan – comparing old EEOC districts with new districts – shows that the plan weakens and overburdens the EEOC.

The plan further burdens a strained EEO system
Instead of increasing much needed staff throughout the EEOC, the restructuring plan piles on more work for the fewer remaining district offices and reassigns eight current district offices to lower rungs in the bureaucratic chain.

The plan fails to address the backlog of EEOC complaints
Tens of thousands of EEOC complaints go uninvestigated each year because the EEOC lacks the necessary staff. The size of the backlog (pending “inventory” as the Commission calls it) grows every year. In 2007 the backlog may reach 48,000. These tens of thousands of uninvestigated cases represent the lives and careers of Americans who potentially have been marred by workplace discrimination. These Americans deserve the opportunity to tell their story and have their cases investigated.
