The EEOC's Seattle district office sued Sound Parking Incorporated, a Washington parking lot owner, on August 17, 2004 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The EEOC's complaint alleged that Sound Parking violated Title VII when it discriminated based on race against the intervenor employee, who intervened in December 2004, by discharging him in retaliation for complaining about a supervisor's use of a racially derogatory epithet. The parties entered into a consent decree on January 28, 2005 which stipulated that Sound would pay the intervenor $57,500 in damages, refrain from discriminating in the future, refrain from retaliating, provide a neutral recommendation for the intervenor, implement a revised anti-discrimination policy distributed to all employees, provide Title VII compliance training for its supervisors and managers, and report compliance with the consent decree to the EEOC bi-annually.
