Employment Discrimination Bureau (EDB)
The Employment Discrimination Bureau (EDB) is responsible
for enforcing the 1992 Retaliatory Employment Discrimination
Act, also known as REDA. REDA protects employees who
in good faith engage in one of the "protected
activities" under the law. REDA protects a wide number of
areas and individuals, including wage and hour issues, workplace
safety rights, mine safety and health, and
sickle cell
and hemoglobin C
carriers. REDA also applies to areas covering genetic testing,
National Guard service, juvenile justice system, domestic
violence, pesticide exposure and employees reporting activities of their employers under the Paraphernalia Control Act.
The bureau investigates complaints and, if the
complaint is found to be valid, the bureau attempts early resolution
and settlement. If the bureau is unable to attain a settlement,
it will issue a right-to-sue letter or take legal action on behalf
of the complainant.
