Case Summary

In September 2000, the Baltimore District Office of the EEOC filed this lawsuit against First American Management, Inc. and Consolidated Management Group, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. We do not have a copy of the complaint; therefore, the exact allegations involved are unknown. However, it appears from the consent decree that the defendant allegedly discriminated against the complainants, female employees, by paying them a lower salary than male employees in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Pay Act. The parties settled the lawsuit through a consent decree in May 2001 prior to the defendants' filing an answer to the complaint.

The consent decree, containing an anti-discrimination clause, required the defendants to: post notice of employee rights, confirm the posting in writing to the EEOC, and pay $53,779.74 to be distributed among twelve individuals.
