The EEOC Doesn't Get It
Well clutch the pearls - the EEOC announced that they won a $1 million plus settlement of a racial harassment lawsuit against Commercial Coating Service, Inc. on behalf of a black employee who was subjected to a barrage of racial epithets and taunting - culminating in one horrific day when his white co-workers (somehow the Edge can't wonder why they'd be referred to as "co") slipped a noose around his neck in the company bathroom and choked him.
One million measly dollars. Here you have it ladies and gentlemen - the price for calling a black man a nigger and a monkey and looking to hang him is worth $1M these days - as well as the ubiquitous consent decree by the company to overhaul its employment practices and improve its culture. Edge recalls that Denny's was hit much harder ($28M settlement fund) for not serving several black Secret Service agents some years back.
And some want the EEOC to be a partner in legislating recruiter ethics? Clearly, the EEOC doesnt get it.

Steve,
they wanted to make sure the guy could get paid. Denny's could afford to pay out 28 Million w/o going bankrupt.
If they tried to apply that to this company, that Guy may Never ever had gotten any financial relief in the long run.
Nothing like being an EEOC apologist! Glad you know what the EEOC was thinking.
