Who is responsible for enforcing the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and the Civil Rights Act?

1. EEOC

2. Wagner Act

3. NLRB

4. DOJ

The correct answer is: EEOC

The EEOC is responsible for enforcing the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and the Civil Rights Act because it is a federal agency that specifically focuses on enforcing laws that prohibit discrimination in the workplace. The Wagner Act, also known as the National Labor Relations Act, deals with workers' rights to form and join unions, so it is not responsible for enforcing these particular acts. The NLRB, or National Labor Relations Board, is a federal agency that oversees labor practices and unions, but again, it is not responsible for enforcing the age discrimination or civil rights acts. The DOJ, or Department of Justice, is responsible for enforcing federal laws and defending the interests of the United States, but it does not have a specific focus on enforcing employment discrimination laws. Therefore, the correct answer is the EEOC.
