Recent trends have seen the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) significantly bolster its scrutiny on workplace discrimination, particularly on the front of disability discrimination. As advocates for those who face injustice, Lieb at Law, P.C. delves into these trends and urges those affected to seek their rightful legal recourse.
The EEOC’s Stand
The EEOC's resolve to combat disability discrimination has been noticeably robust. In its recently concluded fiscal year, the EEOC filed a staggering 144 lawsuits, a 55% increase from the previous year. Of these, 48 lawsuits were laser-focused on disability discrimination. That's a 77% rise from the 27 filed in the fiscal year of 2022. To be clear, this is in addition to the countless number of private lawsuits in federal and state courts throughout the country plus all of the administrative claims resolved at places like state / county / city divisions of human rights.
Other Discrimination Categories
While disability discrimination took center stage, the EEOC has also been active in pursuing cases involving retaliation, race, and religion discrimination. This underscores the broader drive to ensure fair treatment for all, regardless of one's personal attributes or beliefs.
Notable Cases
A recent case that highlights this mounting concern involved Alliance Ground International, a cargo logistics company based in Chicago. The EEOC alleges the company discriminated against a deaf individual, refusing him employment. In another case, the EEOC sued Union Pacific Railroad for terminating employees they considered "color vision deficient." These are but a few examples among many, revealing a troubling pattern of discrimination.
Mental Health: An Emerging Concern
Adding to the spectrum of disability discrimination, the EEOC has started to spotlight employers who fail to accommodate mental impairments. Recent cases have encompassed issues related to autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
Complexities of the ADA
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a lifeline for many. However, its complexity can often be a double-edged sword. On one side, it offers protection to the disabled, but on the other, its intricacies can lead employers astray, sometimes unintentionally.
A Growing Regulatory Landscape
With the EEOC's budget set to grow by $26 million in the upcoming fiscal year, their vigilance is only expected to intensify. Topics like racial justice, diversity, equity, inclusion, and systemic discrimination are likely to gain even more prominence.
Your Right to Fair Treatment
No one should suffer discrimination in silence. The numbers and the cases are clear indicators that disability discrimination is an alarming concern that needs addressing. If you or someone you know has faced discrimination of any form, it's crucial to understand your rights and take action.

Attorney Andrew Lieb, a legal analyst, joins Newsmax to breakdown the key arguments on both sides of the major antitrust lawsuit filed against Amazon. In this mock trial segment, Andrew Lieb plays the role of defending Amazon while Erin Elmore argues for the FTC.
The lawsuit alleges that Amazon operates as an illegal monopoly and engages in anti-competitive behavior designed to crush competition. Specifically, it accuses Amazon of replacing relevant search results with paid advertisements favoring its own brands and penalizing sellers that don't use Amazon's shipping methods.
Some specific points Andrew made on behalf of Amazon include:
- Amazon has over 500,000 independent retailers selling on its platform, showing it creates competition rather than stifling it.
- 80% of retail shopping still occurs in physical stores, so Amazon exists in less than 20% of the overall market.
- Amazon offers retailers on its site reduced shipping costs compared to competitors, helping small businesses.

The New York Department of Labor has proposed a new rule intended to increase pay transparency in accordance with Labor Law 194-b, which statute (not the new rule) first becomes effective 9/17/2023.
Key Proposals:
· Employers are now required to include a range of compensation on job postings.
· The rule would not apply to government agencies or “Temporary Help Firms”.
· The Range of Compensation cannot be open ended, i.e. “$20 per hour and up”, it needs a "good faith" minimum and maximum. Good faith means the amount the employer legitimately believes they are willing to pay a successful applicant at the time the job is posted.
· Any current or potential employee affected by a violation can file a complaint under the proposed rule, as can the Commissioner of the Department of Labor.
Why it Matters:
· The range of compensation can’t include other forms of compensation; i.e., $18 per hour plus $10 per hour in expected tips cannot be posted as $28 per hour. This is good for employees because it reduces the risk of employee exploitation.
· The rule is not overly restrictive for employers; it allows them to adjust the range of compensation after collecting additional information through the hiring process.
· The rule is a good effort at striking a balance between the rights and needs of employees and employers.
Public comment can be made until November 12, 2023 at email: regulations@labor.ny.gov.
Andrew Lieb, a legal political analyst, discusses New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's temporary ban on guns in public places with an emergency public health order. Lieb analyzes the order from both a political and constitutional perspective. He notes that while the order may be politically controversial, it attempts to fit within the "sensitive places" doctrine outlined in recent Supreme Court gun rights cases. The order will likely face legal challenges but could force further definition of what constitutes a "sensitive place." Overall, Lieb argues the order highlights the urgent need to address gun violence as a public health crisis through multi-pronged solutions.
