Publish Executive Order prohibiting Federal agencies from appealing EEO decisions rendered by an Administrative Judge.

Created by S.E. on December 20, 2012

Federal agencies waste millions of dollars appealing Administrative Judges' decisions in favor of complainants who have filed EEO complaints. While this waste may not violate legal ethics, it violates basic ethics and integrity values. Such actions only serve to defend managers who have violated Federal law, agency policies, and basic human rights. Additionally, Federal agencies should be prohibited from defending managers against civil actions, when the decision is in favor of the complainant for retaliation. To defend managers who abuse their position of public trust and discriminate by retaliation against an employee or applicant undermines the integrity of the EEO program and perpetuates such misconduct, reduces efficiency, and makes a mockery of the law.
