Will Discrimination in the Workplace Return with a Vengeance?

This week, we sit down with Peggy Mastroianni, former Legal Counsel at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), for a powerful conversation on the history, impact, and effectiveness of the Commission in addressing workplace discrimination.Ms. Mastroianni reflects on the hard-won gains secured through the Civil Rights Act of 1964—and sounds the alarm on the current Trump Administration’s efforts to roll back those protections. From threats to enforcement to the targeting of African Americans, women, immigrants, people of color, and individuals with disabilities, she outlines what’s at stake and why we must stay vigilant.
