This article, about how the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) should be allocating its time and resources, quotes employment law partner Gary Siniscalco.

According to the article many attorneys believe EEOC has spread itself too thin by focusing on too many investigations. Siniscalco specifically targeted EEOC’s lack of supervision.

“It's consistently inconsistent how poor many of these investigations are, not only for finding cause, but also for finding no cause. There should be no reason, in my view, why the commission should bring a case that they lose in summary judgment. That should not happen. There's got to be some further oversight,” Siniscalco said.
