The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which is likely to soon have a 3-2 Republican majority, is expected to change its processes and policies to reflect a more pro-business stance under the Trump administration. This will include EEOC commissioners assuming more control of issues that have been left to its field offices discretion and filing less systemic-oriented litigation on behalf of multiple employees. A revision of its position on matters such as LGPTQ rights also is anticipated. The commissioners and the new general counsel will exercise greater control and more restraint, according to Epstine Becker Green L.L.P. law firm member.
