DOL Dismantles Affirmative Action Rules For Federal Contractors

As part of the White House’s broader effort to rewrite federal equal employment opportunity rules, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has issued three final rules that substantially roll back affirmative action requirements for federal contractors. These rules collectively address Executive Order 11246, Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), which, up until now, comprised the regulatory framework that the DOL’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) administers.
