 High Hopes for ADR from the Seattle District Office of EEOC!
The Seattle district office of
the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) hopes and expects great
success from its initiatives in alternative dispute resolution / mediation,
according to Michael C. Fetzer, deputy director of the Seattle district
office. At both the national and district office level, the EEOC has been
exploring ways to incorporate the benefits of alternative dispute resolution
(ADR) into the handling of charges of discrimination. Since ADR represents
a departure from the EEOC's historic charge - handling process, Fetzer
says the EEOC wants to be sure employers are aware of this option. The
only charges filed with the Seattle district office that will not be eligible
for mediation are those that fit the enforcement priorities of the Local
Enforcement Program (LEP) established by the office.
