The EEOC's Minneapolis district office sued United Parcel Service, Inc. on September 29, 2000 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. The EEOC's complaint alleged that UPS violated Title VII when it discriminated against a class of male employees with spouses and a class of female employees, based on sex (female) by not providing for female contraceptive medication in its health plan. The parties entered into a consent decree on December 13, 2001 which stipulated that UPS would pay the complainant $1,344 in damages and $1,024 in damages to any class member defined by the consent decree who returned a settlement agreement form, modify its health plan coverage to include female contraceptive medication, and report its compliance to the EEOC annually. The consent decree also allowed UPS to exit the consent decree if more than five people in the class specified in the consent decree failed to return agreements to UPS.
