Therefore, assuming they work — or are applying to work — for a covered employer as outlined above, Title VII provides discrimination protection for all employees, former employees, and those applying to be employees.
Title VII applies to private-sector employers with 15 or more employees, to state and local government employers with 15 or more employees, and to the federal government as an employer. Title VII also applies to unions and employment agencies. Title VII does not apply to Tribal nations.
Title VII is enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Most employees and job applicants are protected by Title VII, but independent contractors are not.
