The Chicago office of the EEOC brought this Title VII suit against Courtesy Corp., a plastic molding company and its packaging affiliate (Creative Packaging Corp.) in January 2002, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The complaint alleges that the defendant engaged in the practice of paying women less for doing substantially the same work as men. The complainant, a female employee intervened in the suit in April 2002, and the parties settled the case in October 2002, by entry of a consent decree.
According to the FY 2003 Office of the General Counsel Annual Report, the consent decree called for the defendant to pay the charging party $110,000 and included anti-discrimination and anti-retaliation provisions. Information on the settlement is scarce because the consent decree is unavailable.
