The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is seeking to enforce a subpoena against Mauser Packaging Solutions in connection with a Commissioner’s charge alleging unlawful steering and discrimination against American workers.
The EEOC asserts that Mauser has not complied with its information requests seeking an electronic database of job candidates and incumbent employees at eight facilities over four years, including demographic, personnel, and contact information. The EEOC aims to investigate whether Mauser selected employees for specific locations based on protected characteristics, specifically national origin (Hispanic), race (Black, White), and sex (female) — a practice known as steering.
The EEOC is likely to continue pursuing broad information requests, supported by court action, to address charges related to Trump Administration priorities, including allegations of anti-American discrimination and unlawful diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices.
