Advocacy Groups Call for Reforms Within the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
A host of advocacy groups and whistleblowers have signed on to a solidarity letterto support the bill HR 1557-Federal Employee Ant-discrimination Act. Congressman Elijah Cummings introduced HR 1557 on March 24, 2015. The bill, which amends the Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation (No FEAR) Act of 2002, strengthens Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) protections for Federal employees who have been discriminated against and provides accountability within the Federal government for retaliatory acts.
The bill is now with Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on (HSGAC). According to advocacy groups the bill has stalled since the senate added a controversial amendment involving discipline without providing for full due process rights. The group sent a united letter to Senator Ron Johnson, Chairman of HSGAC, asking for the Chairman to move forward on the reform measures as agreed upon by both the House and the Senate.
