The Detroit District Office filed this case in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The defendant was Premier Logistics, Inc., a commercial freight carrier. The complaint alleged that the complainant was discharged because she was pregnant in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The lawsuit was filed in September 2002 and was resolved by consent decree in March 2003. The complainant, who did not intervene in the case, was awarded a total of $25,000. The company had shut down operations by the time of the consent decree and therefore no substantial injunctive requirements were imposed. The duration of the consent decree was one year.
