The EEOC's New Orleans district office sued Ventura Uniform Service, Inc., a national uniform retailer, on September 30, 1999 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. The EEOC's complaint is unavailable, however their causes of action are stated in the consent decree. The EEOC alleged that Ventura violated Title VII when it discriminated against an employee based on sex (female) and her pregnancy by terminating her employment. The parties entered into the consent decree on May 25, 2000 which stipulated that Ventura would pay the aggrieved employee $5,560 in damages, would not discriminate in the future, post a notice of compliance with Title VII, create a policy concerning sex discrimination and pregnancy discrimination, and provide Title VII compliance training.
