Vulnerable workers, from immigrants to the intellectually
disabled, often toil in the U.S. as agricultural, domestic and factory workers,
enduring isolation, threats, little to no pay, substandard living conditions,
and even sexual harassment including rape.
Maria Flores, a 25-year veteran of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC), will give voice to these hidden victims of labor trafficking
by highlighting select employment discrimination cases investigated and/or
litigated by the EEOC. Gain a better understanding
as to what makes these workers particularly vulnerable, the barriers they face
in voicing complaints, recourse under civil rights laws, agency resources, and
special initiatives to combat this national problem.
EEOC advances opportunity in the workplace by enforcing federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. More information is available at www.eeoc.gov.
