Chairman Alexander and Ranking Member Murray,
The Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI), an organization devoted to educating workers, their employers, employees and citizens about issues affecting the workplace, would like to extend our gratitude for the recent hearing held by the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) regarding the nomination of Janet Dhillon to the Equal Employment and Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
We believe Dhillon is a strong and qualified nominee having served as general counsel for Burlington Stores, Inc. and J.C. Penny Company, Inc. Her distinguished legal career also led her to operate as in-house counsel for U.S. Airways after working more than one decade at a well-respected law firm. She was also first in her class at the UCLA School of Law.
For these reasons, among others, WFI believes Dhillon will be a meaningful addition to the EEOC and advance its mission of enforcing federal law making it illegal for discrimination to take place in American workplaces.
WFI strongly supports Janet Dhillon’s nomination to the EEOC, and believes she will be an able and committed advocate for workers in her service on the commission and as its chairwoman.
Sincerely,
Heather Greenaway
Workforce Fairness Institute
