On April 28, 2021, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) held the first Commission meeting under the Biden Administration, a public hearing on “Workplace Civil Rights Implications of the COVID-19 Pandemic.” The primary focus of the hearing was on the pandemic’s devastating impact on the U.S. workforce. Twelve panelists testified about pandemic-related losses and amplified inequities suffered by people of color, Native Americans, people with disabilities, immigrants, older workers, and women, and by specific segments of the workforce, such as essential front-line and migrant workers. The panel also included the employer’s perspective and discussed the pandemic-related issues that employers are currently grappling with and are looking to the Commission for guidance.
