Case Summary

In February 2005, the EEOC's Boston Area Office (with participation from the New York District Office) brought this action against David Lerner Associations, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut alleging discrimination on the basis of sex in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The complaint alleged that the defendant subjected the charging parties, female employees, to a sexually hostile work environment resulting in their constructive discharges. …

In February 2005, the EEOC's Boston Area Office (with participation from the New York District Office) brought this action against David Lerner Associations, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut alleging discrimination on the basis of sex in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The complaint alleged that the defendant subjected the charging parties, female employees, to a sexually hostile work environment resulting in their constructive discharges. The alleged discrimination consisted of unwelcome touching, offensive comments and gestures, pressure to wear provocative clothing, and threats of violent retaliation. The case was originally assigned to Judge Robert N. Chatigny and was reassigned to judge Mark R. Kravitz in September 2005. Three of the charging parties intervened with similar claims and prayers for relief in September 2005, and a fourth party intervened in November 2005.

The defendant moved to dismiss on May 24, alleging the plaintiff had failed to reconcile its claims in good faith. It alleged that the plaintiffs sought litigation over mediation from the start of the claim. On October 25, the court denied the motion to dismiss and the case proceeded to discovery. The parties held two unsuccessful settlement conferences before reaching a settlement in October 2006 through a consent decree.

The three-year decree, containing anti-discrimination and anti-retaliation clauses, required the defendant to: implement written Title VII policies and procedures, display EEOC-provided Title VII notices and posters, provide annual Title VII training for all employees, report to the EEOC at specified intervals, and pay a total of $1,500,000 in damages. In addition, the defendant's Chief Executive Officer was required to send a memorandum to all employees affirming the defendant's commitment to Title VII compliance.

Aside from a motion to release funds, the case has since been closed and inactive.
