In September 2002, the EEOC district office in Los Angeles, California brought this suit against the Central ENO Corporation, doing business as ENO California V Generation Corporation, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The complaint is currently unavailable. The consent decree states that a former employee, a Hispanic male, alleged national origin discrimination in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Specifically, he claimed that the defendant denied him and other Hispanic employees equal working conditions and equal pay compared to similarly situated Korean employees. The former employee also claimed that the defendant terminated him when he complained about the discrimination. The case was quickly disposed of and a consent decree was entered in September 2003.
In the consent decree, the parties agreed that the defendant would pay the former employee $20,000 in compensatory damages only, refrain from discriminating on the basis of national origin, provide EEO training to its supervisory staff, keep a compensation log, post and distribute EEO notices, and submit semiannual reports to the EEOC. No fees or costs were awarded. The terms of the agreement ran for thirty months.
