EEOC Increases Outreach Efforts to Spanish Speakers, Immigrant Workers

Weeks after the National Labor Relations Board entered into a cooperation agreement with Mexico, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has taken similar steps. On Aug. 8, the EEOC announced that its Miami district office had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Consulate General of Mexico in Miami and Consulate of Mexico in Orlando. According to the EEOC, the MOU “establishes an ongoing collaboration between these entities to provide Mexican nationals with information, guidance, and access to resources on the prevention of discrimination in the workplace regardless of immigration status.”
