After Lucas called on the error on X, Stein posted another message in which he said: “To clarify, the office to which I referred above is an office within the Labor department This enforces the civil rights of employees. “
Speaking with Fox News Digital, Lucas said that the report “undermines” the report of EEOC’s assets to enforce the law by misleading the public.
“We pushed back with corrections … and WAPO (Washington Post) had retweeted like:” Oh, I was talking about the OFCCP “, which is in fact what he should have done if he took the trouble to get us right,” she said. “But the most important message is that reporting is misleading.
“The Ministry of Labor can consider considerable cuts on OFCCP. I don’t know. We are completely separated from OFCCP.”

But she remains convinced that the eeoc is here to stay.
“We work very hard to ensure that we have the most productive workforce, and we want to make the agency a really even and efficient workforce,” said Lucas. “But I am convinced that we have an important role to play because our jurisdiction and mission are directly related to the orders of civil rights.
“So we are a law enforcement agency, and we are here to implement it and to enforce the law.”
