  I am surprised at the lack recorded comments on the bold changes that were made by the EEOC to change the Federal Sector Hearing process, and to sweep EEO cases under the rug!

  Talk about where is the Center for Individual Rights, NOW, AARP, the unions, Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, and the NAACP when you need them? I guess, as it turns out, no one is saying enough about this, including older white males, who may see their cases being dismissed and tossed asided by two Hispanics, working at the EEOC to implement the reforms!!

  I am disappointed to see the reported moves by the Washington Field Office of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to restructure the architect of the federal sector redress process, for government workers. The revised process, according to reports, became effective on June 1, and in reality was decided by Mr. Dana Hutter, who is an acting director of the WFO?

  In reality, the process became effective while both the Congress and the Senate were sleeping, and not paying attention to someone changing the EEO rules! In fact, the revised process, as reported introduces a plan that is notoriously complicated, and thick with even more bureaucracy.

  OK, it's a done deal!

  Will the new changes make the EEOC redress system more transparent, wile clearing up the back logs of EEO cases, that are now pending at the WFO?

  I am not sure! But, it's fair to say, the new process that was decided by an "acting decision-maker," is not the panacea that needed to resolve the back log of cases at the WFO, which resulted from unlawful employment discrimination in the federal sector.

  I certainly hope that the Congress and the Senate will wake up!
