Equal Employment Anti-Discrimination

The Equal Employment Anti-Discrimination, Inc., (EEAD), today announced the opening of its website, designed for the purpose of assisting veterans and Title VII  victims who have experienced employment discrimination.  John Treadwell, EEAD, Co-Founder and Chairman, who is a 27 year retired veteran of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission States, “More than 80,000 people  file charges of discrimination with the EEOC each year and most charging parties do not know anything about the process and without the proper knowledge, Americans can continue to expect employment discrimination complaints to increase.” He further indicated that “A knowledgeable charging party is dangerous and employers know it.”  EEAD Co-Founder, President and CEO, Glenn Millsaps, Jr., adds, “We have received numerous complaints about EEOC’s practices which has included citizens who eventually file their own lawsuit and win, even after the EEOC dismissed their case without cause.”  On June 13, 1995, the EEOC implemented its Priority Charge Handling Procedures in hopes of effectively handling charges. “EEAD advocates have seen the Commission dismiss cases by the thousands without following established policies and procedures,” states Millsaps.  EEOC’s Charge Statistics for FY 1997 through FY 2010 may be viewed at www.eeoc.gov.

EEOC statistics reveal that during the period FY 1997 through FY 2010, the Commission  received 1,166,174 individual charge filings. Of these figures the Commission issued 751,323 decisions where a no reasonable cause of discrimination existed and only 69,101 were cause findings where discrimination existed.

“EEAD  believes if more citizens knew the EEOC process, more discrimination complaints would result in a “cause determination finding” which would act as a reminder to employers that employment discrimination is against the law”, said Treadwell.
