Currently, many employees in the United States are not protected from harassment or discrimination based on race, age, sex, pregnancy, disability, religion, color, etc solely because their employer has less than 15 employees that would qualify them to be considered an "employer" under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Pregnancy Discrimination Action. Originally, Congress set the required number of employees under these laws at 25.  However, after it saw so many Americans that continued to be discriminated against it put forward the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972.  In its original form before it was pass the EEO Act of 1972 set the required number of employees at 8; however, after opposition by some congressmen the original bill was changed to up the limit to 15 employees. While the EEO Act of 1972 did help include more Americans under its protection it still let many Americans with no protection from harassment and discrimination.  As such, Congress should put forward legislation that would lower the required number of employees to 8 as contemplated by the original bill that later became known as the EEO Act of 1972.
