The Baltimore District Office of the EEOC brought this suit against Hathaway Corporation and Hathaway Industrial Automation, in May of 2001, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. The suit was based on violations of Title VII and the Equal Pay Act. The complainant alleged that she was not paid the same as her counterparts because she was a woman and was retaliated against for complaining. The suit was resolved by consent decree five months after being filed.
The consent decree included both injunctive relief and monetary relief. The complainant was to receive $37,000 in compensatory damages. The complainant also was to have this incident removed from her employment record and would receive a neutral/positive reference in the future from the defendant. The defendant was also to refrain from retaliating and discriminating in the future, they had to post notice of employee rights, and provide a full day of training to each manager. If the consent decree was violated then the EEOC could file a contempt motion with the court only after having engaged in a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute.
