Abstract
There is little doubt in the minds of impartial historians and social critics as to the successes of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), However, the EEOC has arguably outlived its usefulness in its current incarnation and needs to be restructured to better fit the changing times. This paper briefly examines some of the benefits of the EEOC and some of its problems to provide the reader with a better understanding of the current form of the EEOC.

From the Paper
"The second aspect is the dynamic nature of the process of production and reorganization through automation. Products and processes are being automated more and more, and the worker is less in demand. This leads to anomalies in employment, wage structure and the system in place to protect the worker is now powerless to accommodate the changes. These changes have to be seen in the background while considering the efficiency of the commission in the present day context. The innovations occur day by day and come "both from technological innovation (labor-saving machines, automation) and from tight technical control over work processes."

Abstract
This paper examines a scenario in which an individual believes that he has been discriminated against in the workplace and follows the process from the initial filing of the complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission through the civil litigation process. This paper also examines the standards under which an individual can succeed in proving discrimination and the steps that the EEOC will take in investigating complaints made by employees or former employees about their employer's business practices.

From the Paper
"According to the official website of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), anyone who believes that his or her rights have been violated by their employer may file a discrimination claim with the EEOC. In the scenario presented, when filing such a charge or complaint, John would be asked to complete an intake questionnaire that would be submitted to the nearest EEOC office. That questionnaire must include the employer's name and address, the complainant's name and address, a short description of the alleged discrimination..."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) chose General Motors, the world's largest automaker, as its target candidate because it would have the largest impact on moving the civil rights agenda forward. The author points out that the EEOC alleged that General Motors actively discriminated against black, Hispanic, and women workers. The paper states that, 20 years after the GMEEOC agreement and 40 years after civil rights legislation has been signed into law, there still is a problem in the work environment at General Motors

From the Paper
"Because the injustices of discrimination did not end with the passage of laws, organizations such as the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) and EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) were created. The NAACP was one of the most significant of these organizations, and was led by chief legislator Thurgood Marshall. During his years spent with the NAACP, Thurgood developed a unique strategy to combat racial segregation throughout the United States. Without Thurgood breaking new legal ground, the Civil Rights Movement would not have gotten off the ground with the power and unified force with which is was eventually able to direct in the direction of General Motors. Marshall believed that the only way for change to occur was by altering the laws, and Thurgood Marshal was the first Civil Rights leader willing to use the law as means of change."

Abstract
This paper explains that, based on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, discrimination is prohibited in employment of the protected groups as defined by such characteristics as gender and national origin.with The author points out that, Under Title VII, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) can pursue a case on behalf of a plaintiff. The paper relates cases that have been brought using Title VII in each of these areas.

From the Paper
"Employment law addresses issues of discrimination in terms of a number of dimensions, including gender and national origin. Case law addressing both usually cites Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Title VII "prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin" (The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, 1997, para. 1). Cases have been brought applying Title VII to discrimination in each of these areas, sometimes in more than one of these areas at the same time. Under Title VII, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) can pursue a case on behalf of a plaintiff. The 1980 EEOC guidelines defined sexual harassment. Until 1981, sexual harassment suits were restricted to tangible losses, and the term itself was rarely used. The 1981 case of Bundy v. Jackson created in the courts an awareness of a correlation between sexual harassment and "hostile working environments."

"The Department of Labor is empowered to recover back wages, either through administrative action or by way of Court action, in case of employees who have been paid less in infringement of the law. Infringement might attract either civil or criminal action. Penalty up to $11,000 per instance of infringement might be assessed against employers who infringe upon the child labor provisions of the law and up to $1,000 per infringement against employers who intentionally or frequently infringe upon the minimum wage or overtime provisions of pay.
