On July 31, 1998, the Chicago District Office of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission brought this suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 against AlliedSignal, an aerospace, automotive, and engineering company. (AlliedSignal was purchased by Honeywell International, Inc. in 2009.) The EEOC claimed that AlliedSignal had engaged in a pattern and practice of discrimination in relation to its reduction in force at its Phoenix and Tempe, Arizona facilities between 1993 and 1994. EEOC sought relief for a group of over 300 former employees aged forty or older,

On October 13, 1998, this case was consolidated with a private action (98-cv-01233) against the same defendant that alleged age discrimination.

The Consent Decree, which was signed on November 16, 1999, stipulated that AlliedSignal was enjoined from discriminating in violation of the ADEA and from retaliating against persons who participated in any way in the lawsuit or in the EEOC's investigation, or who received monetary relief. AlliedSignal was obligated to provide training for its employees regarding the ADEA and the company's "Reduction in Force" policy. The Consent Decree further required the defendant to allow charging parties to reapply for positions, and to provide neutral references for those who choose not to. The plaintiff class received $8 million, part of which was set aside for increased monthly pension benefits to be distributed over time.
