When an agency finds reasonable cause to believe a violation of law has occurred in only 2 percent of its cases, it is failing to carry its congressional burden of eliminating unlawful discrimination in the workplace and should be abolished.
Discrimination in employment flourishes in the environment of ineffective and incompetent enforcement of the law. Victims of discrimination would be better served by immediate access to the federal courts.

We all take cuts. Get over it. EEOC wastes a lot of money on nothing cases.

At a time when the EEOC's OFO and other departments within this agency have a backlog and cannot meet the targets they set, no budget should be cut. However, this budget needs to remain steady and employee more front line employees and/or contractors to clear the backlog to ensure people are not placed into a queue for two to three years and have no closure for their victimization for a extended period of time, further victimizing them and causing psychological harm.
Or would it be the intention of the EEOC to deny more claims for not being timely whilst they allow agencies to continue not to comply with their time limits set forth in law? As this happens all the times victims are denied for filing their appeals/complaints untimely but agencies rarely are held accountable for not completing investigations within the required 180-day period.
