Legal Action
Cross v. U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
Filed in: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia
Summary
The plaintiff, a former Amazon delivery driver, brings this action challenging the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) decision to halt all investigations into claims alleging disparate impact discrimination in the workplace. Plaintiff alleges the agency’s actions are arbitrary, capricious, and contrary to law under the Administrative Procedure Act, and violate statutory obligations under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. Plaintiff seeks declaratory and injunctive relief compelling the EEOC to resume investigations into disparate impact claims, including her own, consistent with federal law.
