The Charlotte District Office of the EEOC brought this action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, against G-A Masonry Corporation. The complaint, filed in April 1999, alleged sex discrimination in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, specifically that Defendant failed to hire the charging parties because of their sex, female. The parties entered into a consent decree one week after the complaint was filed.
The decree, valid for two years, required Defendant to pay a total of $40,000 ($19,000 to one charging party, $17,00 to the second charging party and $1,000 to each of four class members), and expunge the charging parties' employment records. Defendant was enjoined from discrimination or retaliating in violation of Title VII, required to provide Title VII training to its employees, adopt a written policy prohibiting sex discrimination, post a notice of non-discrimination and submit semi-annual reports to the EEOC concerning its compliance with the decree.
