Is this agency a joke? I found this agency incompetent. Also, my lawyer told me EEOC rarely send case to court. If so then EEOC is not doing their job! They're wasting taxpayers' dollars! Last August, a company refused to provide interpreter for the interview, saying I must bring my own interpreter. I pointed them to ADA legal info and they then agreed to work on getting interpreter which they have never done so. So I filed complaint at EEOC against this company last October. I gave them complete records of my conversation with this company. EEOC investigated this charge and found no discrimination, thereby giving me right to sue. Are they blind? All they do is do intake, then pass it back to you. I've filed 8 charges at EEOC and this is the first I heard from them. I fear EEOC'll shoot down the rest of my charges. I cannot afford to go to court suing eight companies with those very high legal costs and lawyer's fees so I may have to pick the best one of the 8 charges and stick with it. Is there a way we can reprimand EEOC for doing a poor job?

Probably the only thing you could do would be write to your congressperson. I also found EEOC incompetent. And, you're right. They rarely take cases to court. They're mostly interested in mass cases where they can take several employees against the same company. But what burns me the most is when people take cases to Supreme Court that really don't fall under ADA, IMHO, and then wind up sticking truly disabled people with weird rulings. <sigh> I suppose it's just all part of the process.

Well, Congressmen also are mostly interested in mass complaints since that's where they get their votes. I doubt many would write to their Congressmen regarding the incompetency of the EEOC.... >I also found EEOC incompetent. And, you're right. They rarely take cases to >court. A friend who works for EEO at a Fed agency (not EEOC) told me EEOC employs people with a Bachelor's degree who had no experience as a lawyer so they're really incompetent. They're mostly interested in mass cases where they can take several >employees against the same company. I guess EEOC has a better chance of winning this case because of the Warn Act law that forbids mass lay-off. Combining Warn Act with ADA gives you very good chance to win. But what burns me the most is when >people take cases to Supreme Court that really don't fall under ADA, IMHO, >and then wind up sticking truly disabled people with weird rulings. <sigh> I >suppose it's just all part of the process. That's pathetic.
