Case Summary

The EEOC's Chicago district office sued Family Video Movie Club, Inc. on September 12, 2002 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The EEOC's complaint alleged that the defendant violated the Age Discrimination in Employment Act when it discriminated based on age by failing to hire applicants over 40 years old. After a series of status conferences in early to mid 2003, the parties entered into a consent decree on July 10, 2003, which stipulated that the defendant would pay the complainant $17,000 in damages and make $100,000 available for the class members who return waiver forms, offer to hire the complainant and class members as positions become available, post a notice of compliance with the ADEA, distribute copies of the consent decree to all employees, maintain records of all applications for two years, allow the EEOC to enter its premises to interview employees and copy documents, and report all hiring decisions to the EEOC semiannually.
