EEOC Holds Public Hearing on Future of EEO-1 “Component 2” Reporting; NT Lakis Partner Mike Eastman Testifies in Favor of Agency’s Intent Not To Renew

NT Lakis Partner Mike Eastman was one of several invited witnesses who presented testimony last week to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) at a public hearing held by the agency on its proposal to renew Component 1 of the Employer Information (EEO-1) Report while not seeking renewal of Component 2.

Six organizations were invited to testify regarding the EEOC’s proposed plan, and Mr. Eastman expressed support for renewal of Component 1 reporting while endorsing the EEOC’s decision to not seek renewal of Component 2 at this time. He also offered some recommendations on how the agency might develop a more effective pay data collection tool.

Prepared statements of all the witnesses are available on the EEOC’s website, along with a transcript of the hearing.
