Hey gymBL0Wzer, why do YOU feel compelled to foist an attack on Lester rather than comment on the topic of this thread?


"This thread is just another example of Lester having a little wet dream about Big Bad Biden."

" t's almost as if you can't read"

Says the person who cherry picks everything to support your beliefs.

Let me fill in the blanks for you. EEOC is a federal agency. Their director is picked by the president. See the connection?

Again doesn't mean Biden knew about Sheets.

Remember Truman said "The buck stops here" The president is ultimately responsible for everything in the federal government

It's almost as if you can't read...

No one said that the director wasn't appointed. The definition of "independent federal agency" explicitly says that it is "independent of presidential control."

Also, this chair was "first nominated in 2014 and unanimously confirmed for a second term in 2019," and again "nominated on June 21, 2023 and confirmed on Nov. 8, 2023 to a third term expiring July 1, 2028."

In case you've forgotten, Trump was President in 2019...

Burrows was chosen by Biden. Do you not understand what Federal Agency means?


"I am deeply honored to be chosen by President Biden to lead the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission," Chair Burrows said. "The EEOC's mission to advance equal opportunity for all in the workplace is particularly critical as we work to rebuild the American economy and address the challenges of systemic discrimination. I look forward to working with the President, my colleagues at the Commission, Congress, and the American people to ensure that everyone has a fair chance at success."

EEOC is a Federal Agency which means it falls under the direction of the Biden administration.


The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is an independent federal agency that promotes equal opportunity in employment through administrative and judicial enforcement of the federal civil rights laws and through education and technical assistance.

Independent agencies of the United States federal government are those agencies that exist outside of the federal executive branch . More specifically, the term is used to describe agencies that, while constitutionally part of the executive branch, are independent of presidential control, usually because the president's power to dismiss the agency head or a member is limited.

EEOC is a Federal Agency which means it falls under the direction of the Biden administration. Doesn't mean Biden knew about it, but his administration is ultimately in charge. Please stop or at least reduce the lying.

As usual, no, you're entirely wrong.

The EEOC, an independent agency, is suing Sheetz, not Biden. It's highly unlikely that Biden knew anything about it, especially not the same day that it happened.

Hey antZ, coulda YOU tell us which "alternative practice available that is comparably effective in achieving the employer's goals but causes less discriminatory effect"?

I did some more reading, and the problem appears to be that they may have been "weeding out potential employees whom the company thought would fail a criminal background check."


If that's correct then it's obviously a bit different from the original claim that they had failed a criminal background check.

So Biden is suing Sheets for not hiring enough minorities felons ? Then he stops by sheetz on the campaign trail and doesn't know he is suing them. Am I correct on this ?

Sheetz does not want to hire criminals. They do a background check.


Is Biden saying that all blacks are criminals?

It didn't stop with Sheets:

"Circle K Inc., which operates more than 7,000 convenience stores discriminated against LGBT job seekers  - specifically gay men and trans-women - by automatically weeding out applicants who had been convicted of child sex crimes..."

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a pivotal piece of legislation that addresses employment discrimination in the United States

EEOC is the federal agency that enforces the laws against job discrimination and harassment. Each year, we process about 80,000 job discrimination complaints. We also work with about 94 state and local agencies who investigate approximately 50,000 additional job discrimination complaints.

OK now all you experts, explain how this has anything to do with Joe Biden?

There is a suit from the EEOC... not Biden or the Biden Administration.

The actual EEOC statement without the bias...

The EEOC charges that Sheetz's hiring practices disproportionately screened out Black, Native American/Alaska Native and multiracial applicants. Sheetz's companywide hiring practices violated provisions of Title VII that prohibit disparate impact discrimination, the EEOC says. The lawsuit does not allege that Sheetz was motivated by race when making hiring decisions.

Such alleged conduct violates Title VII, which prohibits facially neutral employment practices that cause a discriminatory impact because of race when those practices are not job-related and consistent with business necessity or where alternative practices with less discriminatory impact are available. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, Northern Division (U.S. EEOC v. Sheetz, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 1:24-cv-01123-JKB, after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.

"Federal law mandates that employment practices causing a disparate impact because of race or other protected classifications must be shown by the employer to be necessary to ensure the safe and efficient performance of the particular jobs at issue," said EEOC Regional Attorney Debra M. Lawrence. "Even when such necessity is proven, the practice remains unlawful if there is an alternative practice available that is comparably effective in achieving the employer's goals but causes less discriminatory effect."

EEOC Philadelphia District Office Director Jamie R. Williamson said, "This highlights the significance of the observance of April as Second Chance Month, underscoring our nation's commitment to reintegrating individuals with criminal records into society by ensuring they have fair access to employment and other essential services. To that end, the EEOC is dedicated to making sure that individuals with criminal records are not unlawfully excluded from employment opportunities because of race."
