EEOC Issues New "EEO is the Law" Poster

On October 26, 2009, the EEOC updated its "EEO is the Law" posters. The new posters update the 2002 "EEO is the Law" poster and the 2008 Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) "EEO is the Law" poster to reflect changes made by the Americans With Disabilities Act Amendments of 2008 and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA). The new posters also included a changed Vietnam Era, Special Disabled Veterans Section and a new section regarding Retaliation.    

Employers should: (1) post the "EEOC is the Law" supplement alongside the 2002 EEOC or 2008 OFCCP poster, or (2) remove the old poster(s) and post the new 2009 "EEO is the Law" poster. Both the new supplement and new poster are available at https://www1.eeoc.gov/eeoc/publications/poster_order.cfm. Additionally, free copies of the poster can be obtained in English, Spanish, Chinese and Arabic by contacting the EEOC Clearinghouse at the address below:
