In September 2006 the Los Angeles District Office of the EEOC filed this lawsuit against the resort Parker Palm Springs, LLC, doing business as Le Parker Meridien Palm Springs, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California alleging discrimination on the basis of sex, female, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. We do not have a copy of the complaint; therefore, the exact allegations involved are unknown. However, it appears from the consent decree that the complaint alleged that the defendant failed to hire the complainant based upon her gender. Following the defendant's appearance in the lawsuit, the parties settled the lawsuit in July 2007 through a consent decree.
The two-year decree, containing an agreement not to discriminate or retaliate, required the defendant to: make compliance reports, keep records, adopt quantitative goals for hiring, develop an anti-discrimination policy, follow recruitment protocol, comply with advertising requirements, distribute notice of employee rights, provide EEO training, and pay $70,000 to the EEOC to be distributed at the EEOC's sole discretion. The docket sheet shows that no further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2009.
