Nearly half of federal agency rulings dismissing employee discrimination claims have been overturned under President Obama, costing American taxpayers tens of billions of dollars in settlements to keep with the administration’s mission of operating a politically correct government.Can the U.S. Constitution survive with a fascist agency like this roaming around the street of America?
In one year alone this translated into an astounding $51.4 billion that federal agencies paid to settle discrimination claims that often had no merit, according to the government’s figures. The information comes from a report issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the bloated federal agency that enforces the nation’s workplace discrimination laws. Judicial Watch has reported in the past how out of control the EEOC has been under Obama and the agency’s own findings confirm it.
In nearly 45% of discrimination claims thrown out by agencies across the U.S. government the EEOC stepped in and revived the cases. The number has increased steadily since Obama became president, according to the EEOC’s figures. For instance, in 2008 the agency reversed 30.3% of government discrimination dismissals, in 2009 35.5% were overturned, 37% in 2010, 35% in 2011 and a whopping 45% in 2012, the latest available figures. The Department of Justice (DOJ) experienced the largest number (nearly 49%) of reversals in the last fiscal year, followed by Veterans Affairs at almost 48%.
This means American taxpayers are coughing up a chunk of change to settle alleged discrimination that the government had already determined to be bogus. This is par for the course at the EEOC, which not long ago turned heads for suing a private American business for discriminating against employees who couldn’t speak English on the job. JW reported the appalling story back in July. A Green Bay Wisconsin metal and plastic manufacturer got sued for dismissing a group of Hispanic and Asian employees over their English skills. Forcing workers to speak English in the U.S. violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, says the Obama administration.
