The US Equal Employment Opportunity commission (EEOC) was established by the title VII of the civil rights act of 1964 and began operating on July 1965. EEOC enforces the principal federal statutes prohibiting employment discrimination*. The US Federal laws prohibiting the following job discrimination: - employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin -protects men and women who perform substantially equal work in the same establishment from sex-based wage discrimination. protects individuals who are 40 years of age or older. - -prohibit employment discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities in the private sector, and in state and local governments; - prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities who work in the federal government. The U.A.E constitution stated that; Equality and social justice and the provision of security and equal opportunities for all citizens is the pillars of society. Do you think that there is a such discrimination in the United Arab Emirates? And if there is... What is the best solution to avoid such discrimination? Awaiting your comments.
