Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
The article reports on the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) seeking to dismantle or overturn long-standing rules designed to combat workplace discrimination, including the EEO-1 data reporting requirement established in 1966. The Trump administration argues these rules have led to reverse discrimination against white people. The piece examines how these tools have historically helped identify hiring and promotion disparities faced by people of color and women, and the potential consequences of rolling them back.
