WIS News 10 - Columbia, South Carolina | EEOC: Hispanic discrimination complaints double in South Carolina
Member Center:
(Columbia-AP) March 14, 2006 - Officials say the number of South Carolina Hispanics who filed discrimination charges through the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has more than doubled since 2001.
That's when the agency first hired bilingual staff to better communicate with that population.
Forty-five people in South Carolina filed charges with the EEOC in 2005, up from 20 in 2001.
The South Carolina House has passed a bill allowing insurers to advertise in a foreign language, but offer policies only in English.
The bill, now in the Senate, makes the English-language contract, and not a translation, the policy of record.
