The New York Times notes that the New York City Commission on Human Rights, charged with enforcing anti-bias laws, was found to have discriminated against two women on its payroll. A federal appeals court upheld a $1.5 million jury award against the City's Department for the Aging for having discriminated against old people. The Labor Department settled a bias suit brought by its employees for $5 million. The Environmental Protection Agency suffered an official outbreak of "sick building syndrome," and the same Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee that supported the Family and Medical Leave Act now stands accused of bias against a pregnant staff member.
