The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1964 to eradicate discrimination in employment. The various statutes enforced by the Commission prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, religion, retaliation, age and disability.
Following nationwide pilots, the EEOC concluded that mediation was a viable alternative to the traditional investigatory methods used to resolve charges of employment discrimination. The mediation program was fully implemented in April 1999.
