I would point out that the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is a Federal organization, but they don't just enforce employment discrimination laws for Federal employees. Anyone in the Federal Government, a state or local government, or even a private sector employee can file an employment discrimination complaint with the EEOC. It is a very powerful organization that will often use taxpayer money to sue private companies in court on behalf of employees who they determine have been discriminated against.
