Yesterday, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission took a significant step when it voted two-to-one to rescind the comprehensive anti-harassment guidance that had been finalized in April 2024. The guidance, which updated the agency’s approach to workplace harassment for the first time in twenty-five years, was eliminated by the commission’s new Republican majority without a public
Stop me if you’ve heard this before. See, there was this viral video going around showing [insert questionable behavior that could — or could not — be employment law related].
