The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission launched an especially large crop of enforcement actions Wednesday. The agency filed at least nine cases nationwide, which is far more than its average of less than one case filed per day.
Most of the cases focused on gender discrimination, but two of the suits alleged pregnancy discrimination and two others alleged mistreatment of transgender employees. The jump in volume of cases filed could be related to the upcoming election, said Douglas Diaz, a labor and employment lawyer at Archer & Greiner in Voorhees, New Jersey.
