Case Summary

In August 2004, the San Francisco District Office of the EEOC brought this suit against Stockton, CA-based El Grullense Restaurant II and Rasil G, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California. The complaint is unavailable, but it can be gathered from the consent decree that the EEOC alleged on behalf of two female employees that the defendant engaged in sexual harassment in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

In August 2004, the San Francisco District Office of the EEOC brought this suit against Stockton, CA-based El Grullense Restaurant II and Rasil G, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California. The complaint is unavailable, but it can be gathered from the consent decree that the EEOC alleged on behalf of two female employees that the defendant engaged in sexual harassment in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. A trial date was set for July 2006, but the case was settled by the entry of a consent decree in June 2006. The five-year consent decree awarded the two complainants $48,750.00 in damages. Additionally, the defendant was required to post and distribute its revised EEO and anti-harassment policies; implement a complaint procedure for employees; and provide anti-harassment training once yearly for all current and new employees. The decree was to last for five years. The docket sheet shows that no further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2011.
