The case stemmed from allegations of discrimination and violation of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act. The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, and genetic information. **Claims:** The EEOC alleged that Boeing engaged in discriminatory practices related to hiring, promotion, and workplace treatment of its employees.
