Case Summary

The EEOC Phoenix office filed this suit on September 30, 2004 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, Phoenix Division.

The EEOC Phoenix office filed this suit on September 30, 2004 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, Phoenix Division. The suit alleged sexual harassment in violation of Title VII against Federal Cleaning Contractors, an Illinois corporation with an office in Phoenix. The defendant filed five motions requesting extensions to answer the complaint. Its answer, the 31st entry on the docket, arrived immediately after the EEOC filed a motion for default judgment. The defendant had previously filed a motion to dismiss on jurisdictional grounds, claiming the EEOC had not met the necessary conditions precedent to filing. The court denied this motion, prompting the defendant to file its answer. A consent decree was entered on January 11, 2006, a little more than a month after the parties notified the court of their intent to settle. The agreement mandated that defendant pay $77,000 to seven complainants and adopt new policies regarding sexual harassment. The defendant also agreed to report to the EEOC every six months regarding its compliance with the decree. For example, the defendant must identify individuals who have complained of sexual harassment and confirm that it conducted required training. The terms of the agreement were to run for two years. The docket sheet shows that no further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2008.
