The EEOC's Birmingham office sued Churpeys Chicken of Alabama, LLC, the company that owns the national Church's Chicken fast food chain, on May 28, 2004 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Alabama. The EEOC's Complaint alleged that Churpeys violated Title VII when it discriminated against one of its employees by failing to rehire her based on sex (female) and because of her pregnancy. The parties entered into a consent decree on June 28, 2004 which stipulated that Churpeys would not discriminate in the future, would not retaliate against its employees in the future, would pay $7,500 in damages to the aggrieved employee, would provide Title VII compliance training to its managerial and supervisory staff in Alabama, would annually report complaints of discrimination and participants in training sessions to the EEOC every six months, and would post a notice of Title VII compliance.
