The feds are hopping!
I’ll keep this short so you can get to your long weekend. There have been four hot developments in employment law. Here’s the scoop:
"You don't have a leg to stand on, Ma'am, but your husband has a very strong case."
No. 1: "Are you or a loved one a white male? Call now for a free consultation. You don't pay unless we win." The Trump Administration is looking for white men who want to pursue so-called “reverse discrimination” claims. Andrea Lucas, Chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, recently posted a video in which she encouraged white males who believe they were discriminated against to file charges with the agency. Harmeet Dhillon, Assistant Attorney General for the U.S. Office of Civil Rights, not infrequently offers to look into reverse discrimination allegations made by posters on X.
According to Bloomberg, the Administration hasn't had a lot of success finding litigious white males, but there's still time.
Please note that although I'm kidding a bit here, "reverse" discrimination is a real thing, and it is against the law. Employers, if you are discriminating against anyone -- even members of the "majority" -- stop it now! You won't go wrong hiring (or promoting) the most qualified individual for the job.
