Opinion: Turf war between federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and California’s Civil Rights Department
California is at war with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission . This fight has nothing to do with a misbehaving big business or a tech titan. Rather, it’s a bureaucratic turf war caused by the state’s Civil Rights Department .
Case in point: The present turf war with the feds, triggered by CRD’s decision to step between Activision Blizzard, a video game company, and the EEOC.
The Activision suit says this is part of a pattern in which the CRD follows a “deliberate strategy” when it brings “cases against companies across California.” It further alleges that the CRD and its employees, including Director Kevin Kish and its then-Chief Counsel Janette Wipper, who was, engaged in a systemic campaign to “overwhelm” the company through “off-the-record media briefing” and leaks.
