Case Summary

In March 2002, the Chicago District Office filed this lawsuit in the the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division alleging discrimination on the basis of sex and race in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Specifically, the complaint alleged that the defendant has engaged in a pattern or practice of discrimination against a class of African American applicants for employment by failing or refusing to hire them because of their race and against a class of female employees and applicants because of their sex by segregating them into job positions based upon sex and failing or refusing to hire females for certain jobs due to their sex. After some scheduling orders and discovery, the parties settled in August 2004 through a settlement agreement.The three-year settelement decree, containing a non-discrimination and non-retaliation clause, required the defendant to: post its anti-discrimination policy, provide training to all employees involved in the hiring process of certain facilities, comply with specified hiring requirements requiring posting of vacancies and hiring of a class of acceptable persons previously denied employment, permit EEOC representatives to inspect and copy employment data and interview employees, keep hiring records, write regular reports to the EEOC, and pay $2.5 million dollars to the class of persons discriminated against.The decree was entered in 2004 and scheduled to last until 2007. No further docket entries exist, so the case is closed.
