With limited resources to fight all potential employment discrimination battles, the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission will shift its strategy from small individual cases to larger systemic issues–some across entire industries, an EEOC commissioner said here last week.
“Like all government agencies, EEOC has limited resources. We need to choose our targets carefully–especially in litigation,” said Commissioner Stuart Ishimaru, speaking in New York at the Employment Practices and Fiduciary Liability Symposium of the Professional Liability Underwriting Society.
“And I believe, from a law enforcement agency standpoint, we need to make sure that we get as broad and as big a bang for our buck as possible,” he added, expressing the belief that to change attitudes and deter bad employment practices, targets must be bigger than they've been in the past.
