The complaint alleged that the defendant discriminated against the claimant by discharging the claimant because of her pregnancy. The case settled by entry of a consent decree in February 2007.The five year consent decree required the defendant to pay the claimant $30,000 in damages and attorney's fees; refrain from discrimination and retaliation; post notice; provide training for owners, managers, and supervisors; notify employees with hiring and firing authority that pregnancy is not a factor that can be in the employment decision; submit reports to the EEOC about compliance and discharges of pregnant women; and allow the EEOC to review its compliance with the decree.The terms of the agreement were to run for 5 years. The docket sheet does not show any further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2012.
