On January 19, 2005, an African-American employee filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas against his employer, alleging discriminatory employment practices under 42 U.S.C. 1981. The plaintiff, represented by private counsel alleged that the employer created a hostile work environment through the use of many racial slurs and jokes/comments. The plaintiff amended his complaint to include more detail in previous allegations and to include allegations of a hostile work environment and retaliation for refusal to commit illegal acts, as well as to add a request for more damages.
On May 2, 2006, after consolidating this case with a similar case brought by the EEOC against the same defendant, the Court entered a consent decree that required, among other things, that the defendant pay plaintiff damages in the amount of $57,500, refrain from discriminating for the duration of the decree, give notice to employees of anti-discrimination employment law, and provide a positive reference for plaintiff's future employment.
