Trump equal opportunity commission puts employers ‘on notice’ to stop ‘anti-American bias’
The Acting Head of the Trump Administration’s Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Andrea Lucas, issued a strong warning to U.S. employers regarding “anti-American bias” in hiring practices. Lucas emphasized that there will be legal and financial consequences for discriminating against American workers.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing laws against job discrimination and harassment. Lucas highlighted that biases against American workers are prevalent in various industries, such as agriculture, manufacturing, and blue-collar jobs. She pointed out that this discrimination has contributed to the migrant crisis by incentivizing foreign workers to seek employment illegally in the United States.
Lucas directly addressed employers, stating that they are not above the law and must refrain from engaging in practices that discriminate against American workers. She emphasized that the EEOC is committed to protecting American workers from illegal discrimination.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Lucas expressed concern about the harm caused to American families and communities due to the preference for cheaper labor by illegal immigrants. She underscored the need to reduce economic incentives for employers to exploit loopholes in the immigration system and discriminate against American workers.
Lucas highlighted President Donald Trump’s commitment to fighting for working Americans and ensuring that they have a fair opportunity to compete for jobs. She emphasized that the EEOC has a successful track record of advocating for discriminated against American workers through legal action, including multimillion-dollar cases.
Lucas encouraged American workers to stand up for their rights by filing charges of discrimination with the EEOC, even if they are just job applicants. She stressed the importance of protecting the rights of American workers and expressed confidence in the EEOC’s ability to handle significant cases of discrimination.
In conclusion, Lucas reiterated the EEOC’s dedication to upholding the rights of American workers and holding employers accountable for discriminatory practices. She emphasized the importance of standing up against anti-American bias in hiring and ensuring a level playing field for all workers.
