Case Summary
In September 1999, the EEOC's San Antonio office filed this suit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas against J. Holt Enterprises d/b/a Sirloin Stockade alleging violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Specifically, the EEOC alleged that the defendant had sexually harassed female employees and created a hostile work environment as a result. The parties quickly worked out an agreement and, in January 2000, they were able to file a Notice of Settlement with the court. The court subsequently approved their consent decree in March 2000. The decree awarded $7,700 to one complainant and enjoined the defendant from discriminating in the future. It also required the defendant to create an extensive one-time training program for all its managers and supervisors on the topic of sexual harassment.
