RILA Comments on the EEOC’s Proposed Revisions

The Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) submits these comments in response to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC’s or Commission’s) proposed revision of the Employer Information (EEO-1) Report as published in the Federal Register on February 1, 2016.1 As discussed more fully below, although RILA and its members strongly support tools to end discriminatory practices, we doubt that the EEOC’s EEO-1 proposal will yield relevant information. Accordingly, we recommend that the EEOC withdraw its proposal or else modify it as set forth herein.
