Every day, American workers face discrimination simply because they’re American.

Laid off and told to train your replacement—a guest worker visa holder? Passed over, excluded, or harassed just because you’re American?

That’s national origin discrimination. It’s illegal, and the EEOC is fighting back to protect workers of ALL races who are American.

[U.S. Department of Labor @USDOL]

This Veterans Day, we honor the brave men and women who have served their nation in uniform.

Their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to defending our freedoms represent the very best of America. 
 
Thank you to all who have served! 🇺🇸

[EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas @andrealucasEEOC]

Promises made, promises kept. Over $7.5 MILLION for more than 1,000 @LockheedMartin workers, in an @USEEOC settlement.

That’s the monetary relief secured through the EEOC’s settlement of a Commissioner’s Charge against Lockheed, alleging race discrimination against white employees in performance assessments, bonuses, and other compensation decisions.

This represents the largest publicly announced class of workers to recover under an EEOC settlement involving alleged DEI-related Title VII violations.

As I emphasized today: “Title VII protects every worker from employment discrimination on the basis of race.”

The EEOC’s settlement is part of an over $29.5 MILLION two-part resolution with DOJ. EEOC’s settlement resolves claims under Title VII, which EEOC has exclusive jurisdiction over businesses and other private sector employers. DOJ’s settlement resolves False Claims Act claims related to alleged misrepresentations regarding Lockheed’s compliance with federal antidiscrimination laws like Title VII.

“Avoiding liability for workplace discrimination requires organizations to hold managers accountable for their treatment of subordinate employees,” said EEOC Dallas Regional Attorney Ronald L. Phillips.

“Ignorant, lazy, and unqualified.” According to an @USEEOC lawsuit, a manager at Ingram Park Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram subjected female employees to these sexist comments, excluded a female employee from key communications, and denied women earnings opportunities.

The dealership operator will pay $430,000 and take the following steps to prevent future discrimination and retaliation:

• Adopt policies to prevent harassment and retaliation
• Provide non-discrimination training
• Train employees who investigate harassment complaints
• Report future complaints to the EEOC
• Comply with ongoing EEOC monitoring

🚨 $7.5M in relief for more than 1,000 workers in the EEOC’s Lockheed Martin settlement.

The message to employers: Diversity initiatives are no exception to Title VII. Race-based employment discrimination is unlawful, regardless of how decisions are framed.

And as @AndreaLucasEEOC said: “Title VII protects every worker from employment discrimination on the basis of race."

[U.S. EEOC @USEEOC]

“Religious liberty is a first freedom, not a second-class right—a foundational principle our Founders recognized 250 years ago and that President Trump has advanced through one of the most ambitious civil rights agendas in decades. The EEOC will continue delivering meaningful relief… ensuring America’s workers never have to choose between their faith and a paycheck.” - Chair @AndreaLucasEEOC

@Law360 recently highlighted @USEEOC’s efforts under Chair @AndreaLucasEEOC and @POTUS Trump to uphold religious liberty and combat employer practices that violate fundamental rights of American workers of faith.

From the article:

“New religious discrimination lawsuits brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission rose about 50% in fiscal year 2026...”

“The percentage of the EEOC's total volume of new lawsuits that asserted religious bias claims — 15.5% — also marks the highest share of religious discrimination cases in at least a quarter-century...”

“…the commission "indicated very early on" during the second Trump administration that religious discrimination "was going to be the focus of the EEOC in the coming months and years, and I think that what we've seen is them delivering on that promise that they made."

“In addition to new lawsuits, the EEOC announced at least 10 agreements in which employers resolved pending religious discrimination charges. Several of the agreements involved seven-figure or eight-figure monetary recoveries…”

“…you could possibly expect that the EEOC would be focused on anti-Christian bias cases, but the ones that I've seen have really covered all types of religious faith traditions."

🚨 $5 MILLION SETTLEMENT: EEOC and @TheJusticeDept secure major action against Instacart for allegedly discriminating against American workers.

The agencies found evidence that Instacart's PERM recruitment practices favored temporary visa holders and created unlawful barriers for U.S. and American workers applying for jobs.

Up to $4 million will be available for affected applicants, with an additional $1 million in civil penalties.

[U.S. EEOC @USEEOC]

Individuals who applied for positions at Instacart, or who were discouraged from applying, between December 2023 and February 2026 may be eligible for compensation through a $4 million claims fund established as part of this settlement.

[U.S. EEOC @USEEOC]

This morning on @FoxBusiness, Chair @AndrealucasEEOC made clear: yesterday’s $5 million settlement with Instacart is just the start of our work to tackle unlawful PERM abuse and other employment schemes that boost cheap foreign labor at the expense of American workers.

As Chair Lucas emphasized, “American workers have rights, and we are going to robustly enforce the law on their behalf.”

Under the Trump administration — the @USEEOC alongside @TheJusticeDept and @USDOL are putting an end to this and delivering long overdue justice to American workers.

[EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas @andrealucasEEOC]

🚨 $5 MILLION SETTLEMENT: @USEEOC and @theJusticeDept @CivilRights secure major action against @Instacart for allegedly discriminating against American workers. Thank you to @AAGDhillon for your partnership in achieving this great result for a class of American workers, comprised of affected applicants and deterred applicants to Instacart.

The agencies found evidence that Instacart’s PERM recruitment practices favored temporary visa holders and created unlawful barriers for U.S. and American workers applying for jobs.

Up to $4 million will be available for affected applicants and deterred applicants, with an additional $1 million in civil penalties.

[EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas @andrealucasEEOC]

American workers: Did you apply for a job at Instacart—or see @Instacart's prior PERM job postings and feel deterred from applying?

Today's @USEEOC and @CivilRights $5 million settlement includes a $4 million claims fund for affected workers.

If you believe you were harmed by these hiring practices, email [email protected] so EEOC and DOJ can share your information with the claims administrator.

Please share this post to help reach other potentially affected workers.

“The freedom to live and work consistent with one’s faith is a fundamental American principle, and employees should not be forced to choose between their religious convictions and their livelihoods.”
- Chair @AndreaLucasEEOC

Following an @USEEOC investigation, a pediatric healthcare provider agreed to pay $650,000 and take other corrective action to resolve a charge alleging it failed to accommodate an employee’s religious objection to performing work related to sex-rejecting medical procedures.
