All Your EEOC Questions Answered, Part 1, With Maureen Kielt

This week, host Ari Kwiatkowski delves into answering questions about the US Equal Opportunity Commission (EEOC) with guest Maureen Kielt, director of the EEOC’s Buffalo Local Office. Over the course of the next few episodes, Ari and Maureen-a former business owner herself-will talk about everything EEOC, from making a claim to whether (and how) they investigate and the options for settling claims via mediation along the way. This first episode on the topic covers the basics: sharing what laws and acts the EEOC (a federal agency) enforces, how the EEOC decides which complaints to investigate, and how the EEOC works with the New York State Division of Human Rights. Listen in for more details.

Thank you so very much this was very informative! One thing that's hard to understand is how the EEOC is a neutral party. However, will represent the employee in a litigating against the employer.

Can you please make a video for North Carolina with one or more of their EEOC senior leaders?

I wish they were all awesome like Maureen!... Lots of variation, especially in ATL!

Positive for the employer, but the stigma is still there for the employee. They have been wronged, as I have been wronged.

This video is missing the most important thing. A correct title. EEOC stands for Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

The judge in my son’s case refused to use the portal. She even dismissed his case because he only posted it to the portal. The EEOC office had to call the judge and tell her she was not allowed to that. I don’t think the judge’s behavior with the portal was right. Judges in EEOC case should know better.

Amazon reported 39,000 total injuries at its U.S. facilities in 2022, up from 38,300 total injuries in 2021. The data suggests that injuries experienced by workers at the company are more frequent and severe than other warehouse workers, how many of those workers are you representing beyond the mediation? Listen a public servant laught and stated the she represent all this positions without understand the pain and suffering of Amazon workers is just a disgrace.
