Key Statistics, Regulatory Update, Report Card on the EEOC’s Strategic Enforcement Plan and Littler’s Top Ten List of What to Watch for in FY 2015On December 3, 2014, the Senate approved the nominations of David Lopez to serve a second term as EEOC General Counsel, and Charlotte Burrows, a Department of Justice Associate Deputy Attorney General and former staffer for the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, to serve a five-year term as EEOC Commissioner. The Commission is now a full five-member panel with a Democratic majority. Based on these confirmations, the EEOC is well-positioned to continue to aggressively pursue its Strategic Enforcement Plan adopted in December 2012.
This webinar will review various highlights from Littler’s Annual Report on EEOC Developments - Fiscal Year 2014, which provides a comprehensive overview of the significant cases, regulatory developments and other activities involving the EEOC.

- Key statistics, including review of data involving systemic investigations and related litigation

- Littler’s top ten list of what to watch for in FY 2015
