This Title VII action was brought in the U.S District Court for the District of New Mexico, against Progressive Residential Services, Inc. The complaint, filed in September 2005, alleged sex and pregnancy discrimination in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; specifically that Defendant subjected charging party to disparate treatment in the terms, conditions and privileges of her employment because of her sex (female) and then discharged her because of her sex and her pregnancy.
The parties entered into a consent decree in August 2006. The decree was valid for three years, and required Defendant to pay a total of $50,000 ($30,000 to the charging party and $20,000 to another female employee). Defendant was enjoined from discrimination and retaliation in violation of Title VII and required to revise its anti-discrimination policy, provide Title VII training to its employees, post and distribute a notice of non-discrimination at its facility, and report regularly to the EEOC about its compliance with the decree. The docket sheet does not show any further enforcement; the case was presumably closed in 2009.
