President Trump has revoked a longstanding ban on employment discrimination for companies receiving federal contracts via an executive order. This decision has dismantled the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, which had successfully enforced compliance and won significant back pay for underpaid employees, particularly for women and minority groups within major tech firms. The acting Labor Secretary ordered cessation of all future investigations, leaving numerous companies free from compliance reviews and potentially perpetuating systemic wage disparities and discrimination in the workforce.
The federal Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, which enforced anti-discrimination rules for federal contractors, has been effectively terminated, leading to a halt in investigations.
President Trump's executive order revoking anti-discrimination regulations has put numerous companies, including tech giants, out of accountability, affecting cases of systemic wage disparities.
Acting Labor Secretary Vincent Micone signaled a complete stop to any ongoing enforcement, leaving employees unsure about the future of their jobs and investigations.
The ruling affects major corporations that will no longer have to undergo reviews for compliance, significantly undermining efforts aimed at reducing discrimination in the workplace.
