In September 2003, the EEOC's Memphis District Office brought this action against American Standard, Inc., d/b/a Trane Company, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. The docket is the only document publicly available for this case. Therefore, the exact allegations of the complaint are unknown. In November 2003, an individual complainant intervened in the action. After some discovery, the parties settled through a consent decree in April 2005.
