In light of the sexual abuse allegations against high profile individuals and the subsequent #MeToo Movement, EEOC Acting Chair Victoria Lipnic has announced workplace harassment issues are a priority for the agency. She pointed out that harassment “causes serious harm to women and men in all kinds of jobs across the country,” and commended not only the EEOC legal teams for their work but also the individuals who came forward with complaints, many of whom alleged they suffered retaliation as a result.
