My partner, Richard, recently posted about the
5 "fiercest" EEOC regional offices. If your
region was not on the list, you may have breathed a sigh of
relief. Employers in other regions should be careful about
getting too complacent, however.
This week a federal court judge tossed out a case filed by Case
New Holland, Inc. against the EEOC for interference with its
business operations. The lawsuit stemmed from actions taken
by the EEOC in 2013 where it sent a blast email to 1000 employees
of Case New Holland ("CNH"). The email informed
recipients that the EEOC was investigating the company over
allegations that it "discriminated against job applicants and
current and former employees from January 1, 2009, to
present," according to the complaint. The message also
contained a link to an Internet survey that CNH says was biased and
asked its employees leading questions.
