The EEOC filed this Title VII racially-hostile-work-environment lawsuit against Selby Sign Co., Inc., on September 26, 2001. The EEOC alleged that an black employee was subjected to a racially hostile environment so intolerable that he was forced to resign. The complaint is currently unavailable to the Clearinghouse.

The parties reach a settlement agreement, which the Court (Judge Andre M. Davis) entered as a consent decree on May 31, 2002. The decree provided monetary and injunctive relief. The employee was paid $20,000 in compensation and $15,000 in back pay. The three-year decree commanded Selby Sign Co. to keep its work environment free of racial harassment, not to retaliate against employees for opposing practices declared unlawful or filing charges with the EEOC, and to post an equal employment poster and a notice. Selby Sign Co. was also required to create and institute a policy on racial harassment, to provide new hires an orientation to its harassment and equal opportunity policies, to train all employees on issues of racial harassment, filing complaints, filing EEOC charges, investigation, and discipline. No further court activity appears on the docket, and the case is now closed.
