WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the U.S. Department of Labor and several other U.S. government entities today signed an agreement with the embassies of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras to advance the protection of the rights of Guatemalan, Honduran and Salvadoran workers in this country.
EEOC Chair Charlotte A. Burrows, Department of Labor Deputy Secretary Julie Su, Ambassador of El Salvador Milena Mayorga, Ambassador of Guatemala Alfonso Quiñonez and Honduran Charge d’Affaires Javier Bú and other officials signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between their respective governments to agree to work together to ensure that Salvadoran, Guatemalan and Honduran nationals are protected against employment discrimination in the United States.
“Today’s agreement with the governments of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras solidifies the EEOC’s commitment to ensure that employees of all backgrounds and nationalities, regardless of immigration status, understand they enjoy protection from discrimination under U.S. law,” said EEOC Chair Burrows. “All employees have a right to work in an environment that is free of discrimination and retaliation. The EEOC is committed to ensuring that all workers, in particular vulnerable workers, can exercise their rights without fear of losing their jobs.”
