Case Summary

The Houston office of the EEOC filed this suit on May 17, 2005 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. Two complainants intervened in the suit and along with the EEOC alleged violation of Title VII by Kroger Texas LP.

The Houston office of the EEOC filed this suit on May 17, 2005 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. Two complainants intervened in the suit and along with the EEOC alleged violation of Title VII by Kroger Texas LP. Specifically, it was alleged that Kroger refused to hire the female complainants and other unnamed class members because of their gender. After discovery had progressed with only a few motions, the EEOC and the intervenors filed a motion to amend the complaint. Before the motion to amend the complaint could ever be decided on, a settlement was reached. The consent decree was proposed on July 24, 2006 and entered on July 27, 2006. In the decree Kroger agreed to pay $137,500 in damages, hire many of the complainants, reevaluate the physical test it uses to screen for the position at issue and provide training to its employees, five of whom were named specifically. The terms of the agreement were to run for 2.5 years. The docket sheet does not show any further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2009.
