On January 12, 2001, the U.S. Department of Justice ("D.O.J.") filed a lawsuit under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 against the Village of Cuba in the U.S. District Court District of New Mexico. The D.O.J. sought injunctive relief, requesting that the defendant be enjoined from failing or refusing to give equal hourly wages to men and women and that the defendant be pay monetary damages to employees who suffered as a result of its discriminatory practices.
The D.O.J. alleged that the defendant gave increased wages to male employees. It also alleged that the defendant failed to consider a female employee for a promotion because she filed a report of discrimination with the EEOC.
On November 27, 2001, the district court (Judge Richard L. Puglisi) accepted a settlement agreement, which stated that the Village will pay specified monetary damages to named employees.
This case is closed, and we have no further information.
