Controversy Surrounding EEOC's Handling of Sexual Harassment Case Involving Female Prison Guards
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is facing criticism for allegedly stopping a sexual harassment case involving female prison guards due to an error made by an administrative judge. A labor union and two female prison guards filed a lawsuit against the EEOC for pausing proceedings in their case and other federal-sector class claims before administrative judges. The EEOC is now under scrutiny for its handling of the situation.
