The EEOC is now pushing forward with sweeping changes, including ending annual workplace demographic data collection and rescinding guidance against English-only workplace rules, signaling a major shift toward weakening protections for workers and reducing diversity initiatives. With only one Democratic commissioner left on the panel, the agency’s new direction faces little opposition — though critics warn these moves undermine decades of civil rights enforcement.
