Equal Employment opportunity can be defined as the process in which all peoples are treated equally regardless of their gender, age, race, colour, sexual preference, disability or religious belief. Equal employment opportunity rights are directly guaranteed by federal and state laws which are enforced by equal Employment opportunity commission.

United States equal Employment opportunity Commission can be defined as an organisation which is responsible for specifically in forcing the federal laws of discrimination against an applicant regarding the specific applicants race,sex,colour, gender identity, national origin, disability or age, etc. Discrimination against the person who reported for the discrimination is also illegal.

This specific type of law is applicable on each and every work situation including promotions, harassment,hiring,firing, training, wages, and benefits.
Intentional discrimination can be defined when a specific individual inside an organisation knowingly work against a specific individual or a group disadvantage that specific individual or group or to provide advantages to other group in competition with that specific group or individual.

A fine example of intentional discrimination is about paying women less than men for the same task and authoritative position.
Unintentional discrimination can be defined as a type of discrimination which happens because of the ignorant or some uninterested prejudice.
An example of unintentional discrimination would be unconscious stereotype of race or culture without being aware of it.

In 2017 Walmart was accused of harassing and discriminating against employee with intellectual disability. Marlo Spaeth head down syndrome and she was forced to work for an uncomfortable position even after her schedule of 15 years was changed by the management. She made consistent request to the management for shifting her work shift from 12 p.m. to 4 pm but the latest shift inside the organisation were assigned by a new automated electronic system, due to her specific disability she couldn't adopt the new change inside your organisation and company charged her for absenteeism resulting in great losses. They terminated Marlo Spaeth for showing extensive absenteeism inside the organisation.
Discrimination against individual dealing with down syndrome provoked actions against Walmart and the share prices of Walmart was also relatively low after this specific case was registered. As an availability of unethical practices directly affected with their overall market appearance.

As Marlo Spaeth already had a long record of clear employment with Walmart as well as she always had a great performance including many pay raises as well as satisfactory performance over the years in different reviews. This was a direct of equal Employment opportunity as well as American with disability act.
This lawsuit is still ongoing and EEOC is focusing on reinstate with all the back pay as well as compensatory and punitive damages.
