In February 2005, the Phoenix (along with the Washington, D.C. and Albuquerque) office of the EEOC brought this Title VII suit against McDonalds in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico. The complaint alleged that the defendant discriminated against the claimants by subjecting them to a hostile work environment because of sex. Specifically, the defendant subjected the claimaints to unwelcome and inappropriate physical contact and lewd and inappropriate sexual remarks. The case settled by entry of a consent decree in March 2006.
The three year consent decree required the defendant to refrain from discrimination and retaliation, pay the claimants $90,000 in damages, provide the claimants with neutral reference, institute and implement policies that will promote a work environment free from sex discrimination and retaliation, review and revise its policies on sex discrimination/harassment and retaliation, distribute the policy, post notice, provide sex discrimination/harassment training for all employees, managers, supervisors, and officers, and give the EEOC reports every six months on any complaints of sex discrimination or retaliation and compliance with the decree. The docket sheet doesn't show any further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2009.
