Workforce Diversity: Hispanic Workers Are Underrepresented in the Media, and More Data Are Needed for Federal Enforcement Efforts

GAO-22-104669
Show
2 Open Recommendations
Agency Affected Recommendation Status
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission The Chair of EEOC should improve EEOC's approach to routinely identify local unions required to file an EEO-3 report to help ensure that they file such reports on the demographics of union members. (Recommendation 3)
Open

 Actions to satisfy the intent of the recommendation have not been taken or are being planned.
As of April 2023, EEOC officials reported taking additional steps to explore ways to determine whether local referral unions are complying with their reporting requirements. For example, during the 2022 EEO-3 collection, officials reported implementing enhanced follow-up procedures with local unions that did not respond to the EEO-3 data request to help ensure that local unions on EEOC's existing roster are aware of their EEO-3 reporting requirements. EEOC is also updating its roster of local unions that may be required to submit EEO-3 reports, which has involved coordinating with the U.S. Department of Labor to use the department's existing data on local unions. EEOC officials expect to have an improved roster of eligible unions for the next collection of EEO-3 data in 2024. We will close this recommendation when these efforts are complete.
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission The Chair of EEOC should work with FCC to develop a new memorandum of understanding that includes a plan for EEOC to routinely share data with FCC regarding discrimination charges filed against broadcasters and cable and satellite television operators. (Recommendation 1)
Open

 Actions to satisfy the intent of the recommendation have not been taken or are being planned.
As of April 2023, EEOC officials reported that the agency has begun the process of reformulating its prior agreement with FCC and will work in collaboration with FCC to review the MOU and explore possible improvements in EEO enforcement. We will close this recommendation when these efforts are complete.
