Case Summary

In September 2003, the EEOC district office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania brought this suit against Moran Foods, Inc., doing business as Save-A-Lot, in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. Two males intervened in the case, and alleged that the defendant violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 when it allowed its managers to create a hostile work environment. Specifically, the aggrieved males alleged sex discrimination based on unsolicited inappropriate sexual com…

A consent decree was issued in March 2005. In the consent decree, the parties agreed that the defendant would refrain from retaliating or discriminating on the basis of sex, expunge employment records of reference to this litigation, give a neutral reference to the aggrieved males, pay the aggrieved men $175,000, keep records of all complaints, allow the EEOC to randomly monitor complaints made, and post EEO notices.

The decree was entered in 2005 and scheduled to last 2007. No further docket entries exist, so the case is closed.
