Multiculturalism and the Law

This text explores the laws against discrimination and how they are enforced. You will read about legal protections against discrimination, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and retaliation.

Introduction

Learning Objectives

  1. Define the role of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
  2. Explain the various types of laws covered by the EEOC.

As we already know, it is in an organization's best interest to hire and promote a multicultural and diverse workforce. Sometimes though, people are still discriminated against at work. As a result, a federal agency has been established to ensure employees have a place to file complaints should they feel discriminated against.
