The main civil rights act dealing with employment discrimination is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. It was amended in 1972 by the Equal Employment Opportunity Act. This Act created the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission which is commonly referred to as the EEOC. If you are the victim of employment discrimination, you can file a charge with the EEOC if you employer or prospective employer has 15 or more employees. The EEOC will then investigate the charge and can file suit on behalf of the employee if it believes that the charge has merit.
