The Trump administration has proposed ending a long-standing federal civil rights requirement, which legal experts say will make it harder for employees to raise concerns about discrimination and may help make the American workplace whiter.

Most companies are required to report their employee demographic data to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the federal agency that enforces anti-discrimination law in every single workplace across the country, thanks to a rule created in 1966. Collecting and sharing this data ensures that companies are complying with civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination based on protected characteristics like race or gender.

The EEOC proposed last week to end the rule mandating such data collection, known as EEO-1.

“The decision to no longer collect this data, I think, is part of a larger pattern of the federal government stepping back from its historic role of protecting workers and ensuring equal opportunity in the workplace,” said Amalea Smirniotopoulos, senior policy counsel at the Legal Defense Fund, a legal organization that advocates for equality.

The rule promotes transparency, allows companies to analyze their own employment practices and helps the EEOC enforce the law. The data can also help individuals bolster their own discrimination claims.

if @eredin-offical were to suddenly die, would you care?

Context: I have a theory, and i want to see if im right. for simplicity, its just the big three + the 'other' option. Apologies for no vanilla extract, i want actual data this time lol.

Back when Verlaine showed up a friend commented how it's crazy Atsushi might meet him before Chuuya

In my off time I made a chart of encounters (because I love data) and it HAS to be intentional that Asagiri hasn't let them meet when Atsushi has met nearly everyone else

Note how there have been quite a few instances that they could have crossed paths but Asagiri seems to be holding off on a direct meeting...

Vol 20 p55

Considering Chuuya is the second half of the team Atsushi and Akutagawa are supposed to take over for, Soukoku, it's odd that Atsushi has yet to meet him yet the story has clearly shown the executive to Atsushi, perhaps foreshadowing? I always did find it interesting that Atsushi specifically honed in on Chuuya from who knows how high in the air amongst a city on fire and in chaos...

Vol 7 p156-p158

For comparison, he has also met everyone in the Guild and nearly all of Rats/DoA and most of the Hunting Dogs

By contrast, to further point out how absurd it is that these two have not met directly, Chuuya has encountered every member of the ADA that's appeared on the battlefield in some way. Fukuzawa is indirect, obviously, as they spoke through speakers while Chuuya delivered Mori's message. I'm counting Kyouka because she was at PM for awhile and was Kouyou's protege. There's a very likely chance Chuuya would have met her as he is often seen with Kouyou.
