Webinar Recording: 2020 EEOC-Initiated Litigation Report and Webinar

EEOC-Initiated Litigation: FY 2019, examines the EEOC’s filings in 2019, and analyzes the significant legal decisions and trends impacting EEOC litigation in 2020. It is a definitive source of information that focuses exclusively on EEOC-related litigation. Our webinar will provide a comprehensive review of these workplace litigation trends and provide attendees with updates on 2019 rulings and trends developing thus far in 2020.

The book’s Co-Authors Gerald L. Maatman, Jr., Christopher J. DeGroff, and Matthew Gagnon will lead this interactive discussion.

This past year again demonstrated that the EEOC is not isolated from the turmoil in Washington, nor the broader shifting political climate nationally. Between a political stalemate surrounding the re-confirmation of a former Commissioner, the government shutdown, and a general political swirl of issues, the EEOC ran on less than a full complement of executive leadership for roughly one-third of the fiscal year. Meanwhile, the continuing acceleration of the #MeToo movement, and ongoing national discussions regarding race and national origin continue to impact the workplace. Despite these external challenges and the constraints the Commission experienced in 2019, it remained committed to pursuing the objectives of its 2017-2021 Strategic Enforcement Plan.
