U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Federal laws
concerning workplace discrimination are enforced by different
Federal agencies. Unless the government speaks with one voice on
matters of employment nondiscrimination, workers may be confused
as to what rights they have and how to protect them and
employers may be uncertain of their obligations and how to
voluntarily comply with their legal duties. The EEOC is
responsible for coordinating the Federal government's employment
non-discrimination effort. The EEOC is required to review
regulations and other EEO policy-related documents before they
are issued to ensure consistency in the Federal government's
effort to combat workplace discrimination. Under Executive Order
12067, EEOC has responsibility for enforcing all Federal EEO
laws and the duty to coordinate and lead the Federal
government's effort to eradicate workplace discrimination. How
