Uninsured and underinsured employers who bank on never facing an allegation
of an unlawful employment practice because they have never been embroiled
in such a dispute in the past may be gambling with their own financial
futures. Employment-based litigation is not going away anytime soon. The
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) remains busy receiving
administrative employment discrimination claims. In fiscal year 2005, the
EEOC received 75,428 charges of discrimination for all statutes enforced
by that agency.
