While serious, this is still an accusation, and will be ultimately decided by the courts not EEOC.


I would rate this as "partly true".

We don't have a rabid pro-worker EEOC, we have an EEOC that is notoriously hard to convince of anything and that process itself requires production of evidence, so when the EEOC makes a determination, that is not just "an accusation", it is the result of a fact-finding process by a third party expert. It is true that an EEOC finding of fact is not the same as a judicial process and it will be ultimately decided by courts, but let's not minimize what has been accomplished here.


This accusation has been apparent inside IBM since the early '90s.


Speaking of which, highly relevant: the EEOC just got defanged.

From that article it seems the EEOC hasn't cared about the particular type of discrimination being discussed here in a long time anyway.
