(WASHINGTON, D.C.)  - Given the terrible track record of President Donald Trump’s regime in enforcing Civil Rights Laws - except for alleged discrimination against White Men - an ongoing lawsuit by two Female Federal Workers, their Attorneys and their Union is no surprise: They charge the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the leading Federal Civil Rights Enforcement Agency, is blocking anti-discrimination lawsuits covering sexual harassment on the job.

In this case, Deanna Chelette and Alexzandria Boyd, who are both Correctional Officers at the Federal Prison in Pollock, Louisiana, are part of a Class Action Sexual Discrimination Complaint against their bosses at the prison for failing to restrain and discipline inmates who harass the Officers.

But that complaint has gone nowhere at the EEOC, thanks to Andrea Lucas, the Commission’s Trump-named Chair. 

The EEOC investigates cases of sexual, racial, gender and other discrimination on the job, including Class Action claims.

But this past December, Lucas froze all such Class Action complaints from Federal Workers.

Which means Chelette, Boyd and other Female Corrections Officers at the prison are still subject to discrimination and harassment by the inmates.

And it’s bad and has only gotten worse since the two Workers went to the EEOC.

The lawsuit says Chelette and Boyd “could be assigned to work anywhere within the Prison Complex with the male inmates who expose her and her Female colleagues to exceptionally vulgar sexual harassment including demeaning sexual comments and lewd gestures, exhibitionist nudity and masturbation and rape threats. Despite class action certification and the inmates’ ongoing sexual harassment, Pollock management’s response to the sexual harassment has worsened.”

So Chelette, Boyd, their Union - the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), and their lawyers went to the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C for an injunction to force the EEOC to resume its real job: Enforcing Anti-Discrimination Laws.

Ending Civil Rights enforcement shows another side of the Trump regime’s racism, as well as its disdain for its own Federal Workers and their main Union, the AFGE.

He called the Union “enemies.”

That hasn’t stopped the Workers, or their lawyers, or the AFGE. 

“Whether in a Federal Prison or elsewhere, Women do not need to endure sexual harassment in the workplace,” said Heidi Burakiewicz, one of two lead Attorneys representing the two Women.
