Our National Campaigns Director, @DebVagins, was out in protest this morning against the @USEEOC’s dangerous shift in priorities and the rescission of workplace harassment guidance.

She also spoke with @BusinessInsider about what the EEOC’s new focus means for workers’ rights.👇🏻

🧵:The Senate just confirmed Andrea Lucas for a 2nd term as #EEOC Commissioner—a grave threat to worker protections. As Acting Chair, Lucas has:
✗ Dismissed 7+ lawsuits for trans workers
✗ Abandoned Title VII enforcement despite Bostock ruling
✗ Exceeded authority threatening

diversity programs
✗ Falsely claimed EEOC is executive branch agency The EEOC was meant to protect workers from discrimination—not weaponize civil rights laws against them.

@EqualRightsAdv has fought gender justice for 50 years. We won't stop defending workers now.

🚨 URGENT: The Senate may confirm Andrea Lucas to her second term with the U.S. #EEOC as soon as TOMORROW. Her record shows she's FAILED to enforce anti-discrimination laws for workers. Call your Senators NOW and tell them to #VoteNoOnLucas!

The House Ways and Means tax bill released today is skewed in favor of rich people, is even more costly than the original 2017 law, and fails to deliver for working-class families and small businesses.

Yesterday the Dept. of Labor placed hundreds of staff on admin leave from its civil rights office, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. This move effectively shutters nearly every OFCCP office across the country, significantly escalating the Trump Admin's⬇️

The @usdol is considering major cuts that would have devastating impacts on workers. We must open pathways to high-wage jobs for more women, not less.👷‍♀️

🚨 The Dept. of Labor Women’s Bureau is under threat!

For over 100 years, the Bureau has advocated for working women in America & its WANTO program helps women access skilled trades careers, building pathways to the middle class for thousands of families.

[Equal Rights Advocates (Follow us on Threads/IG) @EqualRightsAdv]

When women make up less than 4% of skilled trades workers but 70% of low-wage workers, eliminating these vital programs isn’t just an attack on women—it weakens the broader economy and increases skilled trades labor shortages nationwide.
