Case Summary

On December 10, 2009, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed suit against Yellow Transportation, Inc., and YRC, Inc., for discriminatory employment practices on behalf of 14 current or former black employees and the class of similarly situated black employees. The EEOC alleged that Yellow Transportation (later merged into YRC) had violated §703(a) of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(a) by subjecting black employees to greater scrutiny, more frequent and greater discipline, lower…

On December 10, 2009, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed suit against Yellow Transportation, Inc., and YRC, Inc., for discriminatory employment practices on behalf of 14 current or former black employees and the class of similarly situated black employees. The EEOC alleged that Yellow Transportation (later merged into YRC) had violated §703(a) of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(a) by subjecting black employees to greater scrutiny, more frequent and greater discipline, lower paying and less favorable job assignments, more difficult and time-consuming work, and a hostile work environment. The EEOC sought injunctive and monetary relief, including economic and noneconomic harm to the employees, punitive damages, development of policies and programs to provide equal employment opportunity and eradicate the effects of its past discrimination. The EEOC also sought to recover its costs. The charging parties later intervened as plaintiffs on their own behalf, filing their complaint on October 6, 2010. The Intervenors' complaint proceeded on the same grounds as the EEOC's allegations but added claims for retaliation.

Examples of the racial hostility in the Intervening Plaintiffs' work environment include repeated hanging of nooses at the workplace, racial slurs and racially motivated graffiti in bathroom stalls, displays by white employees of racially hostile symbols (such as the Confederate flag and "KKK") on clothing or in the form of tattoos, and supervisors' failure to address complaints adequately. Additional examples of the alleged disparate treatment include delaying full-time hiring of black employees (which gave white employees greater seniority), denial of work opportunities that would lead to advancement, giving shorter sick leaves to black injured workers than white, granting less overtime to blacks than whites, and denying blacks - but not whites - the opportunity to choose who they worked with.

The parties reached a settlement, which the Court (Magistrate Judge Susan Cox) entered as a consent decree on September 25, 2012. The decree resolved this case and the related case Brown v. Yellow Transportation, Inc., linked below. The decree awarded a total $11 million to the class of plaintiffs from the two cases to be distributed according to the specified claims process. Attorney's fees were awarded to the Intervening Plaintiffs' attorneys in the amount of $1.1 million out of the $11 million award. No significant injunction was granted because the facility at which the Plaintiffs originally worked had closed and the facility to which those who had not been fired were transferred (Chicago Heights) was already under an adequate consent decree from the cases EEOC v. Roadway Express, Inc., linked below, and William Bandy v. Roadway Express, Inc.. The court simply requires a notice to be posted at the remaining facility. Final approval of the distribution of the settlement funds was granted on April 8, 2013. Because the duration of the notice provision is co-extensive with the duration of the Chicago Heights decree, the decree is technically in effect as of this writing. For all intents and purposes the case is closed.
