Case Summary

The Seattle office of the EEOC brought this Title VII and ADEA suit against Idaho Power Co. in September 2002, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho. The complaint alleged that the defendant discriminated against the charging party, a 57 year old Hispanic male, both because of his age and national origin. More specifically, the complaint alleges that the defendant hired nine less qualified white males between the ages of 21-33 for the positions that the charging party sought. The charging party intervened in the suit in October 2002. After two years of discovery motions and motions for summary judgment and seven days before the beginning of trial, the parties settled by entry of a consent decree in November 2004.

The two year consent decree required the defendant to pay the charging party $175,000, and included an anti-discrimination provision (along with policies and procedures), three hours of training on employment discrimination, policies designed to promote supervisor accountability, advertisement of Meter Specialist vacancies, and Bi-Annual reporting to the EEOC. The consent decree also required the defendant to expunge the record of the complaining party.
