Case Summary

The EEOC's Seattle office filed this suit on September 21, 2004 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, Tacoma Division. The EEOC alleged that defendant Allstar Magnetics, Inc. violated Title VII by discriminating against a female employee, and a class of female employees, because of their pregnancy by discharging them. After a trial date was set on March 4, 2005, the parties filed a proposed consent decree on May 3, 2005. The consent decree was entered into the record and the case was dismissed on May 9, 2005. The defendant agreed to pay the named female employee $25,000 in the decree. The defendant also agreed to review its anti-discrimination policies, provide training for its employees, report to the EEOC annually, and expunge the named female employee's personnel file. The settlement term was 3 years. The docket sheet does not show any further enforcement; the case was presumably closed in 2008.
