WASHINGTON – Today, Committee on Education and Workforce Ranking Member Robert C. “Bobby” Scott (VA-03) sent a letter in response to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) Draft Strategic Plan, criticizing EEOC for providing insufficient time for Congress and the public to submit meaningful feedback on the plan. The EEOC has engaged in a troubling pattern of shortchanging engagement with the public on a number of its actions. In its current form, the Draft Strategic Plan will undermine the agency’s enforcement of the nation’s civil rights laws and harm workers.
WASHINGTON – Today, Representatives Robert C. “Bobby” Scott (D-VA-03), Ranking Member of the House Committee on Education and Workforce, Jerrold Nadler (D-NY-12), Member of the House Judiciary Committee, and Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), a senior member and former Chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, reintroduced the bicameral Restoring Justice for Workers Act. The legislation will end forced arbitration clauses, protect workers’ ability to pursue work-related claims in court, and allow workers to band together to vindicate their rights. Scott, Nadler, and Murray first introduced the bill in 2018.
