Case Summary

On May 18, 2007 a group of African Americans filed suit in the District Court for Massachusetts against their former employer, Banc of America Investment Services, Inc.

On May 18, 2007 a group of African Americans filed suit in the District Court for Massachusetts against their former employer, Banc of America Investment Services, Inc. Plaintiffs alleged a variety of discriminatory practices including disparate treatment, disparate impact, retaliation, and discriminatory practice. The complaint centered on the defendant's practice of assigning black financial advisors to work almost exclusively with black premiere bankers and then assigning these teams to minority communities. These communities were generally less affluent and thus presented fewer opportunities for the black employees to be successful. The result was less income and impeded progress within the company.

The defendant moved for dismissal or in the alternative transfer away from Massachusetts but on September 17, 2008 the district court (Judge Nancy Gertner) denied both motions. The parties engaged in extensive discovery and negotiations. On June 30, 2009 the parties reached a settlement agreement after mediation. The agreement required defendants to pay a sum of $7,200,000. It also provided for injunctive relief: defendant was required to develop and publicize a Non-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy, provide more training, hire a Diversity Monitor, and consult with an Industrial Psychologist about the policy. The case was closed on November 18, 2009 when the district court granted class status and approved the class action settlement.
