STATEMENT OF NEED
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
needs to make Federal agencies / officials more accountable for
violating employment discrimination & whistleblower protection laws.

Federal Employee Anti-discrimination and Retaliation Act (No
F EAR ) of 2 002 , u nde r s cor e s a cr i ti ca l ne e d f or e nh a n ce d
Accountability/transparency within the Federal EEO complaint
process.
The EEOC should adopt added accountability measures to
combat chronic retaliation against employees which:
negatively affects the governments operational efficiency,
increasingly puts employee and public safety at risk, and
annually costs the American taxpayer millions of dollars.

Note: The C4C conducted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) inquiry to assess

that over a ten year period and after finding retaliation in numerous cases, the

The EEOC should have referred both the Decatur case and Saunders case - which involved widespread retaliation
and Blacklisting at the VA - to the OSC for disciplinary action. In VA Case No 200L-0629-2004100828 the Final
Agency Decision footnoted in the Ralph Saunders v Veterans Affairs case the following statement We also note the
evidence that they also retaliated against other employees who filed EEO complaints.
