On January 28, 2010 the EEOC issued a press release indicating it is partnering up with the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage to “fight job discrimination.”  The Maltz Museum, familiar to any east-sider, is in Beachwood and easily accessible from the freeway.  The EEOC announced that on the last Thursday of every month, its employees will be at the Maltz Museum to meet with anyone who has concerns about job discrimination, and to help fill out the necessary forms to file a Charge of Discrimination.

This local outreach effort demonstrates a renewed and serious commitment on the part of the EEOC to proactively and aggressively root out workplace discrimination.  Employers – have you recently reviewed your discrimination policies and trained your managers on the discrimination laws?  Unless you are emphatically nodding your head, there is no time like the present.  (Or, as my favorite yoga teachers often ask, “if not now, when?!”)
