The EEOC's Philadelphia district office sued Man Line Health, Inc., a company that operates numerous hospitals throughout Pennsylvania, on August 2, 2005 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The EEOC's complaint alleged that Main Line violated Title VII and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act when it discriminated based on race (African American) and age when it failed to promote two qualified elderly African American workers for a job and instead promoted an unqualified young Caucasian for the position. After numerous settlement conferences in front of Magistrate Judge David R. Strawbridge beginning in June 2006, the parties entered into a consent decree on August 25, 2006. The consent decree stipulated that Main Line would not discriminate based on age or race in the future, would forego retaliation against anyone participating in the suit, pay $16,000 to be divided evenly among the two aggrieved employees, post notice of compliance with Title VII and the AEDA, train employees and applicants for employment and promotion about the AEDA and Title VII, and institute a dispute resolution program. The decree was to last for two years. The docket sheet doesn't show any further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2008.
