Key 1
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission was established to investigate claims and advocate for victims of employment discrimination. The commission was designed to enforce Title 7 of the Civil Rights Act Amendment, which makes job discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age and disability against federal law. Although some state laws are more comprehensive, as of 2007 there are still no federal laws protecting employees from discrimination based on political affiliation, sexual orientation or gender representation. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission does not enforce the protection of these groups either.
