President Trump has rescinded a 60-year-old executive order that enforced anti-discrimination policies for federal contractors, thereby weakening protections against employment discrimination based on race, religion, sex, and other characteristics. This move aligns with his broader agenda to diminish DEI initiatives across the federal workforce. By halting the promotion of diversity and affirmative action programs, this decision is expected to impact the rights of millions of contract workers, who represent about 20% of the U.S. workforce, amidst ongoing debates about equality and discrimination in workplaces.
This week, President Trump rolled back a decades-old Equal Employment Opportunity executive order, representing a significant policy shift away from protections against employment discrimination.
The revocation of Executive Order 11246 reverses key protections for federal contract workers that were designed to prevent discrimination and promote equal opportunity for all.
