EEOC Could Get Furloughed
Employees at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission might be furloughed, GovExec reports. That's because the agency is facing a budget cut in fiscal 2012. While EEOC hasn't yet made formal plans to furlough it's 1,800 workers, Chairwoman Jacqueline Berrien has told the staff to be prepared. One option is to designate a skeleton staff to keep basic services running during a furlough. EEOC's 2011 budget was $367 million. Senate appropriators want to reduce that by $7 million, while the continuing resolution imposes a $5.5 million cut.

That's pathetic that an agency that protects employees' rights is getting cut & furloughed.
It just goes to show how important the "common person" is deemed in America's society in today's day & age.
They are worthless anyhow! Best move i've heard to cut budget out of government!!
2:17 367 million? come on, in all my years of working I never seen them show up when I got laid off?
If someone is discriminated against they have the right to sue. We don't need to pay 367 mil for that. but I am sure obummer will be using them to sue the american voter when he don't get re elected.
you are a joke!

How is someone who is illegally fired by a company that LIES to the unemployment office in order to save $$$ supposed to be able to afford a lawyer to sue a company that earns billions and can afford thousands of lawyers?
4:47 so you think 367 mil is well spent then? prolly would be cheaper to just pay for their lawyers. spoken like a true democrat, the government can fix everything!
