EEOC Can Email Employees

A recent court decision gives the green light to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to email employees to see if they have ever felt discriminated against in the workplace. The case involved a company who had come under scrutiny by the EEOC. The Commission had made numerous requests for information during the nine months of the nationwide review of the company’s employment records. One of the last of the submissions contained employee email address. A year and a half after obtaining the addresses, the company’s employees got emails asking things like:

  • “At any point during the application process did anyone … make any comments about your age?”
  • “At any point during the application process did anyone … make any comments about the age of applicants/employees?
  • “At any point during the application process did anyone … make any other age-related comments?”
