ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, Kristie and Elena discuss EEOC enforcement trends for 2026, comparing the agency's stated priorities—including DEI-related discrimination, anti-American bias, women's sex-based rights, and religious liberty—with the lawsuits being filed. They highlight why disability accommodation cases account for the largest share of enforcement actions, despite not being a named priority. The hosts examine two lawsuits against Hotel Equities Group and Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast, discussing failures to provide pregnancy and religious accommodations and DEI-related exclusion claims. They also address employer questions on retaining DEI programs, managing visa-sponsored employees, and the most important compliance step employers can take.
