Regarding EEOC mediation, I'm hearing from a lot of people that the EEOC mediators push hard for mediation settlements of no higher than $10k. Some EEOC mediators won't even present an employee/charging party's demand for higher than $10k because they think it will derail the process.

I'm still thinking about it

Please make a quick video to this. What is the point of a jury trial if the judge still makes the final decision?????

[@philipmorningwood747]

Very useful, thank you! Should one also list their demands in the opening statement?

Mediation Statement Ha my mediator didn’t read it total waste of time and Money. My only hope is to impeach the witness with new produced documents!

[@rainer9627]

But it’s not litigation yet, is it?

[@viralsheddingzombie5324]

Are we talking EEOC mediation? If I as the charging party had already written a rebuttal, I would simply duplicate or briefly summarize the written rebuttal for my opening statement. K-I-S-S
